## Frequently asked questions

### When is the next 189 invitation round?

Home Affairs does not publish a calendar of 189 rounds and announces a date only shortly before some rounds. When no date is announced, ImmiTrend's expected window is on the 189 prediction page, and this answer changes as soon as a date is official.

### What is a SkillSelect invitation round?

An invitation round is when the Department of Home Affairs invites the highest-ranked Expressions of Interest in SkillSelect to apply for a visa. The federal rounds tracked here cover the points-tested subclass 189 and 491, and each publishes a minimum points cut-off — the lowest score invited. Subclass 190 and state-nominated 491 are invited separately through state nomination.

### What was the latest 189 invitation round cut-off?

The table above lists every recent subclass 189 round with its minimum points cut-off and invitation count, sourced from official Home Affairs data. Filter by subclass to compare 189 and 491 rounds and how cut-offs have moved over time. Subclass 190 rounds are run by the states — see the State Nominations page.

### How many invitations did my occupation get in each round?

Home Affairs publishes the total invitations per round but not a per-occupation breakdown. ImmiTrend estimates each occupation's share as a range from EOI pool movement, so you can gauge demand for your ANZSCO code round by round.

Figures are from the Department of Home Affairs' SkillSelect EOI data dashboard and invitation round results, compiled by ImmiTrend (CC BY 4.0: cite ImmiTrend and link to the page).
