How concentrated is the subclass 189 EOI score distribution for Geotechnical Engineer?

The three largest score bands form a notable concentration without containing a majority of the total. NovenAI calculates that 75 points is the largest score band across Submitted, Lodged and Closed statuses, with 90 EOIs or 17.7 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 75, 70, 80 points, containing 251 EOIs or 49.3 percent. This measures distribution concentration, not an invitation cutoff.

Is the Submitted EOI pool increasing or decreasing?

NovenAI compares Submitted status only. Submitted EOIs increased from 286 in August 2026 to 288 in September 2026, a change of 2 EOIs or approximately 0.7 percent across consecutive monthly snapshots.

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

For September 2026, NovenAI's state aggregation shows that NSW has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 138; WA has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 134. 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 7 available snapshots and 13 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.
