The October Skill Select round brings good news as the number of invitations have increased to 1500. The Subclass 489 Visa was closed in September. Hence, no invitations were issued for this visa.  The minimum score needed to obtain an invitation in the October draw was 80 points. However, candidates with 85 points received the most number of invitations. 922 invitations were issued to candidates scoring 85 points. Approximately 190 invitations were issued to high scoring candidates scoring 90 points or above.  Also, there is fierce competition among candidates nominating pro-rata occupations. Pro-rata occupations are the ones where the number of visa spots available is less than the demand for these occupations.  The scores for the pro-rata occupations in the 11th October draw are as follows: 
Occupation ID  Occupation Name  Minimum score   Latest date of EOI 
2211  Accountants  90  06.09.2019 10:29 am
