Motor Mechanic (General) EOI Data — ANZSCO 321211

The cutoff is the lowest points score that still received an invitation in the most recent round shown above. It varies month to month with demand. First, calculate your score with the Australia PR Points Calculator.

These are all month-end snapshot counts pulled from SkillSelect — not a log of events. Submitted is the number of Motor Mechanic (General) (ANZSCO 321211) EOIs sitting in the pool, not yet invited, on that snapshot day. Invited is the number of Motor Mechanic (General) EOIs currently sitting in INVITED status on that same day — a stock count of who is invited right now, not how many got invited that month. Lodged is the number that have moved on to a lodged visa application. Each EOI sits in exactly one status at a time and moves between these three counts as months pass. For the next step, see Compare occupations with SkillSelect EOI data.

A few compounding reasons. The Invited snapshot mixes brand-new invitees with EOIs invited in earlier rounds — when the cutoff may have been lower — that simply haven't lodged yet. High scorers also tend to lodge fast once invited and drop out of the snapshot before the next month-end capture, leaving more borderline, slower-moving cases visible. An unfiltered (all-visa/all-state) view mixes pathways with different effective cutoffs too — state nomination streams (190/491) can sit lower than the general 189 stream. On top of that, many EOIs are registered on more than one visa subclass or nominating state at the same time (e.g. 189 plus 190/491 in parallel); when SkillSelect invites the EOI, every one of its parallel tracks is marked invited together — even a track that wouldn't have independently met that track's own cutoff yet. Multi-track EOIs are common in the data, so a lower score you see under one specific visa/state can belong to an EOI that was really invited on a different, often higher-scoring track. Submitted and Invited score distributions are not a like-for-like "who wins" comparison — they are two different EOI populations captured at the same instant. For the next step, see Subclass 189 EOI data and trends.

In the SkillSelect data, State = ANY, shown on this site as “Not state-specific”, is not a ninth Australian state. It means the EOI record is not tied exclusively to one named state or territory — for example, the candidate may be open to nomination by any eligible jurisdiction. SkillSelect can also publish an ANY track alongside one or more specific-state tracks for the same EOI, with those tracks moving through statuses together. Because of that overlap, ANY and the individual state counts are not mutually exclusive groups of people and should not be added together to estimate a unique total. Stateless visas such as Subclass 189 use N/A instead, because state nomination does not apply to them. To see how ANY sits alongside named jurisdictions, compare the Subclass 190 EOI data by state.

Every number here is compiled from the Australian Government's own SkillSelect system (Department of Home Affairs), refreshed monthly right after each official data reload — no manual estimation. eoidata.com holds no private or authenticated migration data; everything shown is derived from SkillSelect's published figures. You can compare the figures with the government’s SkillSelect EOI Data report.

Compare your own points score against the current Submitted score distribution to see where you rank in the Motor Mechanic (General) pool right now. Check the Invited score distribution and lowest/median invited score to gauge what's actually been getting invited recently, keeping the previous answer's caveats in mind. Then watch the trend across visa/state combinations — a rising Submitted count with a falling Invited count usually signals growing competition for Motor Mechanic (General), while a state-nominated pathway sitting visibly lower than 189 may be a faster route.
