Subclass 189 Points Cutoffs for 21 Aug 2025 Round Round...

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.
