What the Tie-Break Date Means

The tie-break date for this round was April 2026.

When multiple applicants share the same points score, the Department prioritises those who submitted their EOI earliest. If your score matched the minimum invited score but your EOI was submitted after April 2026, you were not invited in this round.

Applicants with scores above the minimum are not affected by the tie-break date.

Key Observations from This Round

Trade and construction occupations were invited at 65 points. Electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and related trades received invitations at the lowest threshold in this round. This reflects Australia's continued demand in the construction sector.

Healthcare dominated invitation activity. General Practitioners, Registered Nurses across multiple specialisations, Physiotherapists, Midwives, Occupational Therapists, and Paediatricians all received invitations at 75 points or above. Healthcare remains one of the most active sectors in the Subclass 189 program.

Secondary School Teachers received invitations at 75 points. Education professionals continue to feature across invitation rounds, reflecting sustained workforce demand.

High-skill science and engineering occupations required higher scores. Telecommunications Engineers, Marine Biologists, Microbiologists, and Electronics Engineers required 95 points — indicating a more competitive pool in these fields.

Urologists faced the highest threshold at 100 points. This reflects a highly competitive EOI pool for this occupation.
