What this page measures

A descriptive record of published EOI status.

SkillSelect publishes monthly point-in-time counts of EOIs in each status. These are status stocks observed at a snapshot, not a count of invitations issued during that month.

The pathway and state controls change the published slice shown in every chart and table. A missing invited-points observation remains a gap; it is not converted to zero or carried forward.
