Questions answered by this monthly evidence

How concentrated is the subclass 189 EOI score distribution for Life Scientist (General)?

EOI volume is spread across more score bands, with no majority contained in the largest three. NovenAI calculates that 85 points is the largest score band across Submitted, Lodged and Closed statuses, with 76 EOIs or 13.5 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 85, 65, 90 points, containing 196 EOIs or 34.9 percent. This measures distribution concentration, not an invitation cutoff.

NovenAI compares Submitted status only. Submitted EOIs increased from 282 in March 2025 to 297 in April 2025, a change of 15 EOIs or approximately 5.3 percent across consecutive monthly snapshots.

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

For April 2025, NovenAI's state aggregation shows that VIC has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 165; ACT has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 90. 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 4 available snapshots and 17 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.
