Questions answered by this monthly evidence

How concentrated is the subclass 189 EOI score distribution for University Lecturer?

The three largest score bands form a notable concentration without containing a majority of the total. NovenAI calculates that 70 points is the largest score band across Submitted, Lodged and Closed statuses, with 876 EOIs or 18.3 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 70, 65, 75 points, containing 2,386 EOIs or 49.9 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 2,423 in January 2026 to 2,453 in February 2026, a change of 30 EOIs or approximately 1.2 percent across consecutive monthly snapshots.

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

For February 2026, NovenAI's state aggregation shows that NSW has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 1,421; NSW has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 1,317. 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 18 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.
