Attention Please!!!!!!!!!
1 st next April, new rules on the maximum number of requests that will be received by the Department will enter into force and be applicable until 31 March 2015.
The Department will receive a maximum of 6,500 applications for a selection certificate under the regular Federal Skilled Worker Program.
By limiting the number of requests received, the Department may treat a greater number of pending requests and reduce processing times.

Indeed, this is a good news for previous applicants whose applications are pending. Because for the new term they have reduced to 6500 skilled worker applications from 20000 of 2013-14.
They are interested as quoted above to treat the pending files and reduce processing time.
Hope for the best!!!
