Here's the last two invitation rounds details:
April 12, 2017- EOI cut-off score: 65 points, EOI cut-off date: Nov. 19, 2016, Number of invitations: 34 ----- https://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/12-april-2017-round-results.aspx
April 26, 2017- EOI cut-off score: 75 points, EOI cut-off date: Apr. 19, 2016, Number of invitations: 4 ----- https://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/26-april-2017-round-results.aspx
For example in my case: EOI score: 65, EOI date: November 23, 2016.....No ITA yet since the last 65 points round cut-off date is November 19, 2016, just only 4 days more to go. haays!
Perhaps I am going to share this to you: http://www.iscah.com/pro-rata-estimated-invitation-times-from-july-2017/
Since our occupation is in-demand and there are several EOI's on queu. A 60 pointer most probably will not be invited for the upcoming invitation rounds. If you are a 65 pointer, and just lodge your EOI this day, estimated ITA will be on January 2018. If you would like to get an ITA soon, you must raise your EOI points.
Perhaps I am going to share this to you on your chances getting an ITA: https://gettingdownunder.com/chances-getting-australian-visa/
Just remember to know your EOI date......
Cheers! God Bless!

Since you are belong to group 2335, why don't you see this thread: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/242040#Comment_242040
I had few information shared regarding our group, just read on the thread.
Since April 19, 2017 changes, our occupations 233511 and 233513 are among 16 caveats occupations that will only limited to 189, 485 and 489 visas. We are not eligible for 190, 457,.....visas. 233512 is not included in the caveats occupations.
Base on the outcome on the approved 2017-18 Australia Federal Budget last Tuesday, Peter Dutton (Immigration Minister) announced that migration number of intakes for 2017-18 program will still remain at 190,000 places (same as last year program 2016-17). http://www.minister.border.gov.au/peterdutton/2017/Pages/budget-2017-18.aspx
DIBP has more than 30,000 places behind their target numbers for this year program, so if they are going to remove these flagged or caveat occupations, most likely they will fall short as well.
That is my hypothesis, I hope I am right then. Let's pray that our occupations will still remain on 2017-18 program.
I hope this will help you getting informed.

More than 8 years na experience ang credited ni Engrs Australia as Telco Network Engr po. Kso currently unemployed ako for 1yr 2 months na, busy asikaso for Visa 189 prerequisites/documents. Kasi kung needed to be employed at the time of application, kailangan ko na din magtrabaho pla before submit application.
