Invite Radar — where invitation activity shifted
Invitation activity is uneven: most occupations look the same from month to month, and a handful do not. This view surfaces the handful — where the invited count rose, fell, appeared for the first time in a while, or dropped to nothing.
What this view measures
The view compares invited counts in the newest published month against the month before, for the subclass you selected, and groups occupations by the kind of change: new activity, increases, decreases and pools that emptied.
Reading the chart
Small pools dominate any change list, so read the absolute counts printed beside each signal. A jump from 0 to 22 is a signal; it is not a wave.
“Emptied” means the invited count for that occupation fell to nothing in the snapshot, not that the occupation was closed or removed from any list.
What the figure represents
Repeated signals in the same occupation across several months are worth attention. A single appearance usually reflects the arithmetic of small numbers rather than a change in how invitations are being issued.
In the dashboard
Set the visa, then work down the groups. Each signal links into that occupation’s trend so you can see whether the change fits a longer pattern.
Invite Radar is behind sign in. Occupation Trends is open in the guest trial if you want the pool side first.
Invite Radar is behind sign in. Occupation Trends for 189 and 190 plus five occupations is open in the guest trial.
For applicants
Your occupation appearing here is interesting, not actionable. It does not tell you the score invitations went out at, and it says nothing about next month.
For migration professionals
The most over-interpreted view in the product, so introduce it carefully. Say that it compares two snapshots and that small pools produce most of the entries.
Limits of this view
It cannot see rounds, scores or nomination decisions, and suppression under 20 means some real changes never surface here at all.
Common questions
Does a radar signal mean an invitation round happened?
Not necessarily, and the view cannot confirm it either way. It compares the invited counts in two snapshots; official round results are published separately by the Department.
