(Unofficial) 189 Invitations List – August 2025 Round

Last updated: 31 August 2025

We’ve searched the web and gathered anecdotal reports from forums, social media, and migration platforms to compile this unofficial list of occupations and points for the 189 visa invitation round on 21 August 2025.

This list is not official, and it’s not exhaustive. It’s based solely on what people have publicly shared online. We’ve only included the lowest reported points for each occupation to give a rough indication of what was invited in this round.

As always, treat this as a snapshot from the community, not a definitive guide. But for the hundreds of thousands of skilled visa applicants waiting on invitations, it’s a useful early insight while we wait for official data.
