Which states lead the subclass 190 and 491 Submitted EOI data?

For February 2025, NovenAI's state aggregation shows that WA has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 5,661; WA has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 5,637. These are EOI volumes, not state nomination allocations, invitation outcomes or an individual's likelihood of invitation.

How does NovenAI standardise and interpret SkillSelect EOI data?

NovenAI standardises the official data by occupation, visa subclass, status, score band, state and snapshot month. This report covers 2 available snapshots and 19 subclass 189 score bands with data. When the official source suppresses a cell below 20, NovenAI uses 10 as the analytical estimate, so the results are not exact application-by-application counts.
