Queue invited = invitations counted by name ÷ EOIs at 65 points or more for that occupation in the pool as at 1 Oct 2026, the same snapshot, so it never passes 100%. Green: 90% or more. Under 100 EOIs it shows in grey, as a small queue clears easily. The round invited 12% of the whole queue (18,932 of 163,092).
Ceilings cap 189 invitations per ANZSCO unit group (the first four digits of the code), so every occupation in a group shares its places. Places left are ImmiTrend's estimate for 2026-27: the official ceilings are not yet published, and a group shown over our estimate means our ceiling estimate is too low, not that Home Affairs passed a cap.
Home Affairs publishes cut-offs and dates of effect, not invitations per occupation. For this round ImmiTrend counts the EOIs ranked above each occupation's cut-off and date of effect in the EOI pool just before the round. The higher figure adds EOIs that joined after that snapshot, so the column adds up to the official total.

The results table lists the date for every occupation.
- Which occupation groups are close to their 189 ceiling after the 15 October 2026 round?
- By ImmiTrend's estimate, 9 unit groups are nearly full or past our ceiling estimate after this round: Painting Trades Workers, Environmental Scientists, University Lecturers and Tutors, Carpenters and Joiners, Actuaries Mathematicians and Statisticians, Telecommunications Engineering Professionals, Chemical and Materials Engineers, Electrical Engineering Draftspersons and Technicians and Chemists and Food and Wine Scientists. The official ceilings for this program year are not yet published, so a group past our estimate usually means our estimate is too low. Every group's places left are on ImmiTrend's occupation ceilings page.
- When is the next 189 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.
