There hasn't been a Dancer or Choreographer 189 invitation in either of the two most recent rounds (21 August 2025 and 13 November 2025), so there's no current cutoff to quote. The last invitation was 7 November 2024, where the cutoff sat at 90 points. The 3 rounds that did invite Dancer or Choreographers since 2022 ranged from 65 to 95 points.
Different visas, different lists, different ends. The 189 is permanent residence, points-tested, employer-independent, and uses the MLTSSL for occupation eligibility. The 482 Skills in Demand is a temporary employer-sponsored visa that uses the Core Skills Occupation List (which also includes Dancer or Choreographer). The 189 sends invitations based on a points ranking. The 482 requires a sponsoring employer who passes labour-market testing.
For the 189 visa, yes. VETASSESS is the designated assessing authority for ANZSCO 211112 (Dancer or Choreographer). An EOI submitted without a positive skills assessment can't translate into a granted visa. Skills assessments have their own fees, processing times, and document requirements. Check the assessing authority's website for the current process specific to your qualifications and work experience.
No one can answer that honestly, and anyone selling certainty about future cutoffs is overstepping. What the data shows is the cutoff for Dancer or Choreographers has trended upward since 2022. The Department of Home Affairs sets the program direction. The official SkillSelect page publishes new rounds when they happen.
This is general information about historical 189 invitation rounds. It isn't immigration advice for your situation. Only a registered migration agent (MARA) or Australian legal practitioner can advise on whether you meet visa requirements. Find a registered agent at mara.gov.au.
