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

"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.

Key Insights for Physiotherapist

  • ↔

    Points are stable. The minimum invited score has remained consistent over recent rounds, though the next round can still move with round size and EOI pool changes.

  • ⚠

    Still 10 points above the EOI minimum. Despite current trends, Physiotherapist remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 75 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.

  • ℹ

    16 rounds so far in FY25-26. Physiotherapist has been invited in 16 invitation rounds this financial year. The round count alone doesn't indicate future demand or guarantee invitations.
