Questions answered by this monthly evidence

How concentrated is the subclass 189 EOI score distribution for Cardiologist?

More than half of the three-status total is concentrated in the three largest score bands. NovenAI calculates that 70 points is the largest score band across Submitted, Lodged and Closed statuses, with 20 EOIs or 22.2 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 90, 80, 70 points, containing 60 EOIs or 66.7 percent. This measures distribution concentration, not an invitation cutoff.

Is the Submitted EOI pool increasing or decreasing?

NovenAI compares Submitted status only. Submitted EOIs decreased from 50 in July 2026 to 40 in August 2026, a change of 10 EOIs or approximately 20.0 percent across consecutive monthly snapshots.

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

For August 2026, NovenAI's state aggregation shows that QLD has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 30; ACT has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 10. 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 6 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.
