Indicative allocation for VET new overseas student commencements for 2026

This document contains indicative 2026 New Overseas Student Commencement (NOSC) allocations for Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) registered Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers delivering nationally recognised training qualifications.

In accordance with recent decisions of government, indicative allocations will continue to be used to inform the prioritisation of processing for offshore student visa applications. A successor to Ministerial Direction 111 will shortly be made to reflect this. Further information on the National Planning Level (NPL), the definition of a NOSC, and categories of students exempt from the NPL that will receive priority processing can be found on the Department of Education's website.
