Subclass 189 Points Cutoffs for 21 Aug 2025 Round

Round issued 6887 SC189 and 150 SC491 Family Stream Invites. Invitation process: The highest ranked EOI, by points score, will be invited to apply for their visa before an EOI with a lower points score.

For EOIs who have equal points scores, we will determine the time and date at which the EOI reached its score for that subclass. We call this a ‘tie break’ or the ‘date of effect’. The EOI with an earlier date of effect will be invited before EOIs with a later date of effect.
