These are model averages across the queue — for your personal rank and wait based on your own DOE, jump to Check My Score below.

189 estimates are most reliable; 190 and 491 outcomes depend heavily on state nomination policy, occupation lists, and per-state quotas, which this model does not directly incorporate.

Key Insights for Accountant (General)

  • Points are easing. The minimum invited score has moved from 100 to 95 over the past 3 rounds, suggesting increased allocation or reduced EOI volume.

  • Still 30 points above the legal minimum. Despite easing, Accountant (General) remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 95 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.

  • 9 rounds so far in FY25-26. Accountant (General) has been included in 9 invitation rounds this financial year. More rounds generally indicate sustained demand from the Department.
