Australia's Department of Home Affairs publishes, for each SkillSelect subclass 189 round, the total number of invitations and the minimum points cutoff for each occupation — but not how many invitations each occupation received. ImmiTrend estimates per-occupation invitations from the latest pre-round EOI snapshot and the published cutoff, then tracks how those estimates move round over round.
Use the window selector to compare this financial year, the last two, or the full history, and Top 5/10/20 to widen each list. “Most consistently invited” is computed entirely from official round results and compiled by ImmiTrend — it counts how many rounds each occupation appeared in. The rising and falling lists rank by the trend across the window, with each occupation's latest round-over-round change shown alongside.
