There is a transitional provision in respect of lowering the maximum age for Subclass 189 visa applicants:
The effect of this subclause is that the pre-1 July 2017 requirements for validly applying for, and being granted, a Subclass 189 visa continue to apply to the applications described in that subclause.
In particular, if the applicant is applying for the visa on or after 1 July in response to an invitation given before 1 July, they must apply within the period stated in that invitation to make a valid application.
