I have 70 points for 190 and 80 points for 491 for WA Civil engineering technician any chances of invite in the upcoming rounds ?

Has anyone else noticed how few 491 grants we’re seeing lately, even for Priority 1 occupations? It honestly feels like 491 processing has been put on hold.

Even after the change to MD 122, there’s still very little movement. Could the low 491 quota be the reason? The 14,110 allocation includes 491, 494 and 187 visas, so is the actual 491 allocation much smaller than we think?

Any insight or recent grant updates would be really appreciated. It’s frustrating for those of us who have been waiting for so long with everything already completed.
