We don't have a reliable Skilled Independent (189) queue for Joiner yet, so we won't guess. Check back after the next SkillSelect round.

For context only: recent rounds we could read cleared near 65 points, but invitation data is heavily redacted, so treat that as a rough marker, not a target.

Thin data, treat as rough. Much of this queue is redacted to under 20 per bracket, so these are rough ranges, not precise ranks.

How to read this

The Department of Home Affairs invites the highest-scoring Expressions of Interest first, so what matters most is roughly how many people sit at or above your score in the Joiner queue, and whether that queue is growing or shrinking. The fewer people ahead of you and the more the queue is easing, the shorter your likely wait. We read this from the real submitted queue, not from invitation cut-offs, because the published invitation numbers are heavily redacted. Smaller brackets are published only as under twenty, so we frame your position as approximate, and at the very top of the queue, where almost everything is redacted, we describe where you sit rather than invent a precise count. The confidence note on the tool tells you how much of that queue is real public data. When the data is too thin to model a wait, we say so rather than guess.
