Overall Observation: The invitation rounds indicate a strong need for skilled professionals across various sectors. While highly specialised roles like engineering and IT require higher points, occupations such as registered nurses and social workers have more accessible point thresholds, making them attractive for candidates with solid but not top-tier scores. The competitive score for chefs aligns with Australia's demand for skilled talent in the culinary industry.
