About 170 places for 700 interviewees (500 1st round + 200 2nd round according to @shadowduke). Should not be any difference between the interview rounds. Any difference is in the place offer rounds - 2nd round place offers tend to have a slightly lower cutoff thanks to a number of declines from the 1st round. However these lower-cutoff place offers are available to all not just 2nd round interviewees.

Thank you for the help! Do you know if the interview weights 100% like JMP, or do they also consider your written application?

According to common belief (well @Ben is our common belief :) ) JCU places are based on Rurality + Actual ATAR/GPA + Interview.
(Edited following Ben's advice that the Application does not count in place offers)

Interview offers is based on predicted ATAR/GPA + Application + rurality index. Actual offers do NOT include your written application in the scoring system.
 
Bala, Would you like to swap an interview date 30th Nov @3:20 pm
Hi Med 2017,
Thanks for asking. But My son got an interview with UNSW on 1st of Dec in the morninga and then JMP on 2nd of December. Hope you will find someone.

I asked the JCU to give us data after 2nd of December. Let me see?
