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.

News update on FY2025-26 Planning Level The number of people entering Australia through the permanent migration program will remain unchanged, with the government maintaining its annual cap of 185,000 people.
It was confirmed on Tuesday morning that the 2025-2026 intake will remain at the same level and settings as the 2024-2025 program, with a focus on skilled migration.
The government said it has undertaken consultations with the states and territories, which recommended maintaining the size and composition of the program.
The Department of Home Affairs has reportedly been processing visas based on last year's level, so there has been no change to the program's operations, according to the government.
