My Outlook — where a score sits in one pool
This is the closest the product comes to a personal answer, and it is still not a prediction. Give it an occupation, a subclass, a points score and the month you lodged, and it shows how much of the published pool sits above you, how your application month has fared, and how long the EOI has before it lapses.
What this view measures
The view combines three published things: the points distribution for your occupation and subclass, the status mix of the month you lodged in, and the two-year validity limit measured from that month.
Reading the chart
“Above you” counts the EOIs in published bands higher than your score. Bands with fewer than 20 EOIs are not published, so the true figure is a little higher than the one shown, and the view says so rather than hiding it.
The cohort panel follows everyone who lodged in the same month as you, showing how many have since been invited or have left the pool. That is history for your application month, not a schedule for it.
What the figure represents
A large number above you means the pool is competitive at your score today. It does not convert into months, because invitation volumes vary and the tables never publish them.
The expiry countdown is arithmetic, not a forecast: an EOI lapses two years after it was lodged unless it is invited first.
In the dashboard
Enter your real details once, then leave them. Re-running the calculator with optimistic numbers tells you about arithmetic, not about your chances.
My Outlook is behind sign in because it stores your inputs. Occupation Trends, which gives the crowding picture the calculator sits on, is open in the guest trial.

For applicants
Use it to understand your neighbourhood, not to set a date. If most of the pool sits above your score, the useful next questions are about points and eligibility, not about timing.
Nothing you enter here reaches SkillSelect. It is a local calculation over published statistics.
For migration professionals
This is a client-conversation tool with a hard boundary: it produces standing, and it refuses to produce a date. Say that first, and the rest of the meeting is easier.
Limits of this view
It does not know your file, your assessment, or your nomination prospects, and it cannot see the invitation rounds that would actually decide the outcome. Suppressed bands mean the counts around you are approximate.
Common questions
Does My Outlook predict when I will be invited?
No. It shows where a score sits in the published pool and how your application month has aged. Invitation timing depends on rounds and volumes that the published tables do not contain.
Is my score sent anywhere?
No. The calculation runs against published statistics for your account only, and it reaches no government system.
