State signals

The largest Submitted EOI state totals are 190: WA 40; 491: VIC 20. These are not nomination allocations or invitation probabilities.

Submitted EOI movement

NovenAI calculates that Submitted EOIs decreased from 90 in January 2026 to 70 in February 2026, a change of 20 EOIs or approximately 22.2 percent month on month.

Questions answered by this monthly evidence

How concentrated is the subclass 189 EOI score distribution for Obstetrician and Gynaecologist?

The three largest score bands form a notable concentration without containing a majority of the total. NovenAI calculates that 55 points is the largest score band across Submitted, Lodged and Closed statuses, with 20 EOIs or 13.3 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 90, 85, 75 points, containing 60 EOIs or 40.0 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 90 in January 2026 to 70 in February 2026, a change of 20 EOIs or approximately 22.2 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 WA has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 40; VIC has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 20. 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 9 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.
