How to read this data
Invitation-round totals are event data from the Home Affairs invitation-round pages. They are separate from eoidata.com's monthly Submitted, Invited and Lodged status snapshots.
The 190 and state-nominated 491 figures are cumulative nominations reported by Home Affairs. Detailed selection criteria, round timing and result formats depend on each state's own website.
No fixed federal schedule is published. Future automation will detect official page changes and require validation before publication rather than generating forecasts.
