How these figures are worked outmethod and limits

Subclass 189 invitation rounds have paused since 15 October 2026, so a wait estimate can't be reliably projected while rounds are paused. The queue figures above are current; the wait will depend on when rounds resume.

"Met the cut-off" counts how many of the last 6 subclass-189 rounds your points would have been at or above the round's minimum.

Figures describe observed invitation rounds and the current EOI pool — indicative only, not migration advice.

189 rank can be estimated from points and DOE; 190 and state/territory-nominated 491 are selected by each jurisdiction under its own policy and priorities, so a national EOI queue rank doesn't apply.

Will I get a 189 invitation as an Agricultural Consultant?

Point Reality Gauge

  • Points are easing. The minimum invited score has moved from 85 to 80 over the past 3 rounds — this can reflect round size, occupation allocation or EOI pool changes.
  • Still 15 points above the EOI minimum. Despite easing, Agricultural Consultant remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 80 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.
  • 1 round so far in 2026-27. Agricultural Consultant has been invited in 1 invitation round this financial year. The round count alone doesn't indicate future demand or guarantee invitations.
