At 75 points, roughly 220 people sit at or above you in this Registered Nurse (Mental Health) Skilled Independent (189) queue. That puts you roughly in the top 60% of eligible EOIs. That queue has grown about 42% over the months we can see, so waiting tends to add competition. Honest wait estimate: roughly 4–8 months. 190 or 491 (state nomination) can add 5 to 15 points and a shorter queue.

For context only: recent rounds we could read cleared near 70 points, but invitation data is heavily redacted, so treat that as a rough marker, not a target.

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 Registered Nurse (Mental Health) 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.
