You can check the latest invitation rounds and the minimum points required for pro rata occupations here
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds
Possible things you can do is now to increase your points is to get higher score in english exam, gain more work experience, or change occupation (like what I did. see my timeline in my signature).
Good luck!
