Newstars Analysis
This round again invited a wide range of occupations — the biggest surprise being accountants. As far as we know, every accountant invited had a base score of 105 or higher; superior English (8s across all four bands) was essential, and local work experience wasn’t just present but outstanding. The state government had previously said a base score of 95 for accountants had little chance — it seems there really is a deep pool of candidates to choose from, and they’ve picked the very best.
As for other occupations, the slightly more popular ICT and engineering categories are currently seeing base scores of 90/95 as standard, with work experience essential.
Also, teaching occupations such as secondary school teachers and early childhood teachers have recently seen a concentration of invitations across several state nomination rounds — teachers with relevant work experience shouldn’t miss this opportunity.
For occupations with relatively lower scores, starting from a base score of 80, what we’re currently seeing are mostly healthcare occupations, or lesser-known trade occupations with fewer applicants.
Our advice for students pinning their hopes on NSW 190 remains the same: work hard to build up your points, then settle in and wait patiently — NSW simply has too many candidates to choose from — the favoured ones can afford to be picky, and invitations can feel a little arbitrary.
