Subclass 189 invitation rounds have paused since 7 November 2024, 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 5 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 Quantity Surveyor

  • ↔

    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 5 points above the EOI minimum. Despite current trends, Quantity Surveyor remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 70 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.

  • ℹ

    1 round so far in FY25-26. Quantity Surveyor has been invited in 1 invitation round this financial year. The round count alone doesn't indicate future demand or guarantee invitations.
