No one knows the cutoff as it's unpredictable, so your friend should try to aim as high as they can. Usually ang naiimprove ASAP is PTE scores and NAATI exam, everything else like work exp and educ hindi na nababago agad unless you get more years of work exp

If married, best to get your spouse to take the english test (PTE), then kung nasa list at pwede mag claim sa work experience, the spouse can get the skills positively assessed (another 5points).
Ace your PTE exam to get the superior score. (Study well para isang take lang at wag i baby kasi motivation yung mahal na test fee )

From another group's data-driven analysis of last year's draw, 80 points may have a medium chance of getting invited, as you increase your way up you have more chances of course. Caveat: there is only one round that this occupation was drawn out last year.

Thanks @Ozdrims very helpful insights kahit last year pa. Back in the days sa immitracker ako nagchecheck but subscription based na pala ngayon. My wife back then didn’t even take PTE, certificate of English medium lang ok na. Is this a new requirement or pangdagdag lang ng points?

Yes that's the NAATI CCL exam. Anyone can take it, 5 pts din sya on top of the max 20 pts na pwede kunin sa PTE
Sobrang dami nang changes kumpara from 2017. I know full well because nagstart ako ng process at that time - 65 lang pts needed sa 189 nun. Kakagrad ko lang ng college and max na naaabot ko lang is 60 due to age (under 25 pa), then the whole process spiraled down from there and here we are with unpredictable invite rounds, extended visa grant times and 85 pts+ invites hahaha bat di ako pinanganak ng mas maaga lol

same, 65 points din ako nun for 189 but invited agad. uso pa company sponsorship din nun sa IT, ngayon wala na halos. not your fault, yan din naisip ko nun sana nagapply agad ako haha. dont worry, it will happen in due time.
the irony lang is pag European countries dito, 2 weeks processed agad ang PR visas. Looks like more money-making scheme kaya dinagdag yun English exam for partner and CCL.

Hi po, last FY po, mostly ng mass nainvites sa first round are 65 points, so imp po na atleast na ka file ng EOI. Try to increase po ang points if kaya para pa mas malaki ang chance. :-)

Is this for the pinoy members here or applicants in general (ie, monitoring cases in immi tracker)? I think the points will also depend on the number of applicants sa skills and average points.
PS I was hoping magpaulan ng invites if Matildas win kaso talo eh ☹️
