Cut-offs and the invitation process
The most qualified applicants are invited to apply for the appropriate visa. In the event that two or more applicants have equal point totals, the sequence of invitations is determined by the date on which each applicant reached the point total for that subclass. Their goal is to obtain expressions of interest as early as possible prior to later dates.
