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 4 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 Systems Analyst

  • ↑

    Points are rising. Recent invited scores for Systems Analyst are rising, which suggests competition may be increasing. Higher points generally improve 189 ranking; 190/491 outcomes still depend on each state and territory's policy and priorities.

  • ⚠

    Still 30 points above the EOI minimum. Despite current trends, Systems Analyst remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 95 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.

  • ℹ

    6 rounds so far in FY25-26. Systems Analyst has been invited in 6 invitation rounds this financial year. The round count alone doesn't indicate future demand or guarantee invitations.
