"Not invited" means no subclass 189 invitations were issued for that occupation in this round. The table shows the lowest score invited, not the number of invitations issued.
What the June 2026 round shows
VET occupations. Carpenters and wall and floor tilers were invited at 65 points, while cabinetmakers needed 80. Chefs received no invitations in this round.
Healthcare. Registered nurses in the NEC, mental health, surgical and aged care specialisations, occupational therapists and physiotherapists were invited at 75. Registered nurses in child and family health, paediatrics and disability and rehabilitation, along with optometrists and medical laboratory scientists, were invited at 80. Within nursing alone, the specialisation made a five-point difference.
Other professionals. Secondary school teachers and social workers were invited at 75, and solicitors at 80. Early childhood (pre-primary school) teachers, the listed ICT occupations and the listed accounting occupations received no invitations in this round.
A single round is a snapshot. Scores can move from one round to the next, so one result on its own is not a reliable guide to where a later round will land.
Summary
In the 4 June 2026 round, carpenters and tilers were invited at 65, the listed healthcare occupations at 75 or 80, secondary teachers and social workers at 75, and solicitors and cabinetmakers at 80.
Chefs, early childhood teachers, and the listed ICT and accounting occupations were not invited in this round.
This is the June 2026 result only. Later rounds, starting with the one scheduled for 30 September 2026, are not covered here.
