    FAQ

    How to read this

    Is this my SkillSelect rank?+

    No. These are occupation facts from the extract. Estimated EOIs ahead needs your points and a saved scenario after you sign in.

    Why is there no salary or jobs number?+

    This product is SkillSelect warehouse data, not a jobs board. Salary and employment counts would need a dated ABS or Jobs and Skills Australia source before we show them.

    Does CSOL help a 189 invitation?+

    No. CSOL is the Core Skills list for 482 and 186. 189 uses the GSM lists in LIN 19/051, mainly MLTSSL.

    Is 190 a national queue?+

    No. 190 and 491 invitations depend on state or regional nomination. Do not read those bands as a national rank.
