Questions answered by this monthly evidence

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

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 90 EOIs or 23.0 percent of the three-status total. The three largest bands are 65, 70, 75 points, containing 222 EOIs or 56.6 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 138 in July 2026 to 172 in August 2026, a change of 34 EOIs or approximately 24.6 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 WA has the largest subclass 190 Submitted count at 128; VIC has the largest subclass 491 Submitted count at 100. 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 11 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.
