A ROI is not a nomination request for the Sydney and Canberra visas.

Until it has been withdrawn, chosen, or the programme year comes to a conclusion, your ROI will be available for selection in our system. The deadline for submitting a ROI is Friday, 5 May 2023.
In comparison to prior years, the ROI forms for the 2022–23 programme is significantly shorter. This is due to the fact that while determining your ROI, we also take into account the data in your SkillSelect EOI. Your EOI must always be accurate and up to date.
