Not enough recent rounds to compute a wait estimate for this subclass.

How these figures are worked outmethod and limits

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 a Podiatrist?

Likely at 70 points or more. Invited in 6 recent 189 rounds.

Point Reality Gauge

  • Points are easing. The minimum invited score has moved from 75 to 70 over the past 3 rounds — this can reflect round size, occupation allocation or EOI pool changes.
  • Still 5 points above the EOI minimum. Despite easing, Podiatrist remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 70 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.
  • 1 round so far in 2026-27. Podiatrist has been invited in 1 invitation round this financial year. The round count alone doesn't indicate future demand or guarantee invitations.
