The three largest bands are 70, 75, 65 points, containing 115 EOIs or 43.4 percent. This measures distribution concentration, not an invitation cutoff.

NovenAI compares Submitted status only. Submitted EOIs increased from 113 in January 2026 to 135 in February 2026, a change of 22 EOIs or approximately 19.5 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 80; NSW has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 80. 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 10 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.
