What is SkillSelect?
SkillSelect is the online system that manages Expressions of Interest for key skilled and business visas. You cannot usually lodge certain skilled visas without first submitting a valid EOI. The government then issues invitations based on program priorities.

Using EOI data to plan your migration strategy
Historical EOI data helps you gauge how competitive your profile may be. You can see which occupations received invitations, at what points and in which states or territories. This is valuable when deciding whether to pursue a 189, 190 or 491 visa, or whether to work towards additional points.
Limitations of historical data
Past invitation trends do not guarantee future outcomes. Policy changes, occupation ceilings and economic conditions can quickly shift demand. Treat SkillSelect data as one input in a broader strategy rather than a promise of invitation.
Frequently Asked Questions — SkillSelect EOI Data — Invitation Trends for Skilled Visas
Is SkillSelect data enough to decide my visa strategy?
No. It is a helpful guide but must be combined with current policy, occupation lists and individual circumstances.
Do states use SkillSelect differently?
Yes. Each state has its own nomination priorities and may target particular occupations or profiles.
Should I update my EOI as I gain more points?
Yes. Keeping your EOI current ensures that states and the Department see your best possible points score.
