## Summary

After the 15 October 2026 round, an estimated 16,711–22,685 subclass 189 invitations have used 30–40% of the 56,163 places ImmiTrend estimates are available to 189 in FY2026-27 across 87 occupation groups. 9 groups are at or near their ceiling, including University Lecturers and Tutors, Painting Trades Workers and Motor Mechanics; 3 more may exceed it.

## How the estimate is made

The Department hasn't published FY2026-27 ceilings yet, so ImmiTrend estimates them with the method in FOI fa-260100545: each occupation group's average ABS employment over FY2025-26 times its tier rate (4%, 2%, 1% or 0.5%, at least 500) gives the ceiling, and grants to subclasses 186, 190, 491 and 494 are then subtracted to give the remaining 189 places (subclass 186 is estimated from 2025-26 nomination approvals). The estimate leaves 56,163 places across 87 groups, and 11 groups have none. For example, Registered Nurses have an estimated ceiling of 14,528 and 11,561 remaining 189 places; Accountants have a ceiling of 1,112 but 0 remaining 189 places, because grants already exceed it. After the 15 October 2026 round, an estimated 16,711–22,685 of those places have gone to 189 invitations, leaving 34,811–39,977 (as of 23 October 2026). Official figures will replace these once released.

## Borderline groups

- Database and Systems Administrators and ICT Security Specialists (2621): 38 places, but possibly 0 depending on the exact values behind counts the Department shows as "<5".
- Motor Mechanics (3212): 39 places, which depend on the subclass 186 estimate; a small change in it could close the group.

## FY2026-27 estimated ceilings, all occupation groups

494 grants are from program year 2024-25 (BP0068); 190 and 491 grants are from program year 2025-26 (DA 26/07/00368); 186 is estimated from 2025-26 nomination approvals to 31 May 2026 (DA 26/06/00293). A group's link is `#ug-<unit group>` on the page.

Invited (est.) is a community estimate from round answers and reports for invitations issued this program year; Spots left (est.) is Remaining 189 places minus that range ("—" where even the low estimate is above our place estimate).

## Subclass 189 occupations and their FY2026-27 ceiling group

Every MLTSSL occupation, A–Z. Ceilings apply to the whole unit group, so an occupation's places are its group's row above; the cut-off is ImmiTrend's estimate from round answers and reports, blank where there is none.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which 189 occupation groups are full after the 15 October 2026 round?

An estimated 9 of 87 groups are at or near their 189 ceiling after the 15 October 2026 round: University Lecturers and Tutors, Painting Trades Workers, Motor Mechanics, Environmental Scientists, Carpenters and Joiners, Actuaries Mathematicians and Statisticians, Database and Systems Administrators and ICT Security Specialists, Telecommunications Engineering Professionals and Electrical Engineering Draftspersons and Technicians. These are ImmiTrend estimates; occupations in a full group are unlikely to be invited again this program year unless 189 places are added.

### What are the estimated occupation ceilings for 2026-27?

The Department hasn't published FY2026-27 ceilings yet, so ImmiTrend estimates them with the method in FOI fa-260100545: each occupation group's average ABS employment over FY2025-26 times its tier rate (4%, 2%, 1% or 0.5%, at least 500) gives the ceiling, and grants to subclasses 186, 190, 491 and 494 are then subtracted to give the remaining 189 places (subclass 186 is estimated from 2025-26 nomination approvals). The estimate leaves 56,163 places across 87 groups, and 11 groups have none. For example, Registered Nurses have an estimated ceiling of 14,528 and 11,561 remaining 189 places; Accountants have a ceiling of 1,112 but 0 remaining 189 places, because grants already exceed it. After the 15 October 2026 round, an estimated 16,711–22,685 of those places have gone to 189 invitations, leaving 34,811–39,977 (as of 23 October 2026). Official figures will replace these once released.

### How many 189 places are left for my occupation in 2026-27?

Ceilings are set per ANZSCO unit group (the first four digits of your occupation code), so every occupation in a group shares its places: find your occupation in the A–Z list on this page to see its group. For each group, 'Remaining 189' is the estimated ceiling minus grants to subclasses 186, 190, 491 and 494, 'Invited (est.)' is ImmiTrend's estimate of 189 invitations already issued this program year, and 'Spots left (est.)' is the difference, shown as a range. Across all groups, an estimated 34,811–39,977 of 56,163 places are left after the 15 October 2026 round. These are estimates, so use them to compare groups rather than as an exact count.

### What is a subclass 189 occupation ceiling?

An occupation ceiling is the maximum number of subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) invitations the Department of Home Affairs plans to issue for an occupation group in a financial year. Ceilings are set at the ANZSCO unit-group (4-digit) level, so related occupations share one cap. Once a group nears its ceiling, invitations for it slow or stop until the next program year.

### Are these occupation ceilings official?

Only the FY2025-26 ceilings are official: they are the Department of Home Affairs' planning figures, released under Freedom of Information (FOI fa-260100545). The FY2026-27 figures this page opens on are ImmiTrend estimates, made with the same method from ABS employment data and Home Affairs grant and nomination releases; the Department has not published them. Both are planning figures, not guarantees: actual invitations depend on round sizes and the EOI pool.

### When will the official 2026-27 occupation ceilings be released?

There is no announced release date. The FY2025-26 ceilings became public through a Freedom of Information release (FOI fa-260100545), not a scheduled publication. Until official FY2026-27 figures are available, this page shows ImmiTrend's estimate and updates the invitations used after each 189 round; the official figures will replace the estimate once released.

### What happens when an occupation group reaches its ceiling?

Once a group's subclass 189 invitations reach its ceiling, no further 189 invitations are issued to any occupation in that group for the rest of the program year (to 30 June), whatever the points score. EOIs stay in SkillSelect and can be invited when the next program year's ceilings start on 1 July. A ceiling is a cap, not a target: many groups finish the year well under theirs.
