Highlighted bars are EOIs at or above your points. These counts include only EOIs with a status of Submitted: people still waiting in the pool for an invitation. Once an EOI is invited, lodged, or closed, it has left the queue, so counting those would overstate how many people are actually ahead of you.

Where you stand means how many people could be invited before you. That's only the people still in the queue with you, which is the Submitted pool. Everyone else has already been invited, has applied, or has left. Adding them would either inflate the number or compare people at completely different stages.

Different visas, different lists, different ends. The 189 is permanent residence, points-tested, employer-independent, and uses the MLTSSL for occupation eligibility. The 482 Skills in Demand is a temporary employer-sponsored visa that uses the Core Skills Occupation List (which also includes Nursing Clinical Director). The 189 sends invitations based on a points ranking. The 482 requires a sponsoring employer who passes labour-market testing.
For the 189 visa, yes. ANMAC is the designated assessing authority for ANZSCO 134212 (Nursing Clinical Director). An EOI submitted without a positive skills assessment can't translate into a granted visa. Skills assessments have their own fees, processing times, and document requirements. Check the assessing authority's website for the current process specific to your qualifications and work experience.
No one can answer that honestly, and anyone selling certainty about future cutoffs is overstepping. What the data shows is the cutoff for Nursing Clinical Directors has trended downward since 2022. The Department of Home Affairs sets the program direction. The official SkillSelect page publishes new rounds when they happen.
As at September 2026, 1 Nursing Clinical Director expressions of interest were waiting in the 189 pool: people who have lodged an EOI and not yet been invited. It's a monthly snapshot from official SkillSelect data, and it shows how crowded the pool is at each points score, not who gets invited (the Department of Home Affairs doesn't publish that).
These occupations share the same 4-digit ANZSCO unit group as Nursing Clinical Director and are also eligible for the 189. Cutoffs and invitation rates often diverge sharply between them.
