Questions answered by this monthly evidence

How concentrated is the subclass 189 EOI score distribution for Registered Nurse (Perioperative)?

More than half of the three-status total is concentrated in the three largest score bands. NovenAI calculates that 65 points is the largest score band across Submitted, Lodged and Closed statuses, with 244 EOIs or 23.4 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 65, 70, 75 points, containing 660 EOIs or 63.2 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 504 in March 2026 to 522 in April 2026, a change of 18 EOIs or approximately 3.6 percent across consecutive monthly snapshots.

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

For April 2026, NovenAI's state aggregation shows that NSW has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 353; SA has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 223. 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 14 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.
