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 Registered Nurse (Aged Care)
- ↓
Points are easing. The minimum invited score has moved from 80 to 75 over the past 3 rounds, suggesting increased allocation or reduced EOI volume.
- ⚠
Still 10 points above the legal minimum. Despite easing, Registered Nurse (Aged Care) remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 75 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.
- ℹ
16 rounds so far in FY25-26. Registered Nurse (Aged Care) has been included in 16 invitation rounds this financial year. More rounds generally indicate sustained demand from the Department.

Community-reported invitees only — applicants who weren't invited aren't here. Cells with fewer than 5 contributors are hidden for privacy. A portrait of the cohort, not a recipe.
Detailed demographic breakdowns are paused while we finalise a data-licensing arrangement with the upstream community-data source — aggregate counts above remain available.
