First New South Wales Subclass 190 Invitation Round of 2026-27: Reported Points
Updated on 21 October 2026 Key takeaways
A list has been shared online that is said to show occupations from the October 2026 NSW subclass 190 invitation round. It comes from an unofficial source and hasn’t been confirmed by NSW Government, so we’d suggest reading the figures below as a general guide only.
The occupations on the list have a figure beside them, ranging from 70 to 105.
An occupation appearing on the list doesn’t necessarily mean it was invited, and an occupation without a figure doesn’t mean no one was invited.

Highest Figures by Field
Engineering, construction and ICT.
This field has the most entries with figures. Petroleum Engineer (100) leads, followed by Civil Engineer and Software Engineer (both 95), Construction Project Manager (90) and Architectural Draftsperson (85). Software Engineer is the only ICT occupation with a figure on the list.
Business and creative.
Advertising Specialist carries the highest figure of all at 105. Production Manager (Manufacturing) is the lowest at 70, so this field has the widest gap between its two entries.
Education and community.
Private Tutors and Teachers nec and Social Worker are both shown at 90.
Health.
Physiotherapist is shown at 85 and Speech Pathologist at 80. Registered nurses, midwives and pharmacists appear on the list with no figure.
Trades.
Painting Trades Worker is shown at 90, with Bricklayer and Carpenter both at 80. These are noticeably higher than the 65 reported for Bricklayer in the first subclass 189 round.
Next Steps
Check official sources.
Look at NSW Government's skilled migration pages and your SkillSelect account for confirmed results.
Avoid changing your plans based on this list alone.
That includes ROI points claims and spending on assessments or applications.
If you've been invited,
check the deadline and requirements in your invitation and prepare your documents early.
Be careful with forwarded files and screenshots.
They can be edited, outdated or taken out of context.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the figures show the minimum points needed for an invitation?
Not necessarily. They appear to be points scores, but the document doesn’t say whether they belong to invited applicants or something else. A single score also doesn’t show how many people were invited.
My occupation has no figure on the list. Does that mean it wasn’t invited?
No. Most occupations on the list have no figure, so there’s no way to tell either way. We’d wait for the official results.
Do I need an invitation to apply for subclass 190?
Yes. You need to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) with NSW, and invitations to apply are issued in rounds.
Is subclass 491 open in NSW?
At this stage, no. NSW has said the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) remains closed to new applicants under all pathways for 2026-27.
