Estimates. Home Affairs publishes each round's total and each occupation's points cut-off, not per-occupation invite counts — so a 0 means no recorded invitations in our estimates for that year.

When is the next 189 invitation round?
Home Affairs has not announced the next 189 round. ImmiTrend's expected window, frozen before each round and graded afterwards, is on the 189 prediction page.
What is ImmiTrend?
ImmiTrend is a free, open-data platform that tracks Australian skilled migration — SkillSelect invitation rounds, point cut-offs, EOI pool sizes, state nomination allocations and occupation ceilings for visa subclasses 189, 190 and 491 — and official Home Affairs visa grants by visa, state and occupation since 2015-16.
How often is ImmiTrend data updated?
Data is sourced from official SkillSelect publications and updated after each invitation round, typically monthly. EOI snapshots and state nomination allocations are updated as new figures are published; visa grant data is updated when Home Affairs releases a new year, about once a year.
What visa subclasses does ImmiTrend cover?
ImmiTrend covers the three main Australian skilled migration visas: Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent), Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) and Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional). Its visa grants pages cover every permanent visa subclass granted since 2015-16.
Can I check my chances of receiving an invitation?
Yes. ImmiTrend's Check My Score compares your points with historical cut-offs for your occupation, showing how competitive your score is and estimated wait times based on recent trends.
How do I compare to who got invited for a 190 or 491 visa?
For state-nominated visas (subclasses 190 and 491), invitations are decided by profile rather than your place in the EOI queue. Check My Score compares your points, English, salary, partner status, onshore/offshore status and NAATI with applicants who were actually invited for your occupation, showing where you match and where you fall short. Based on community-reported invitations and provided for reference.
How many visas did Australia grant in 2024-25?
185,001 permanent visa places (132,148 skilled, 52,500 family, 353 special eligibility), per Department of Home Affairs data. 186, 190 and 189 each matched their planning levels. Provisional 2025-26 totals are 17,076 for 189 and 33,210 for 190.
