About

What this site is

eoidata.com turns the Australian Department of Home Affairs SkillSelect Expression of Interest (EOI) dataset into something you can actually read. The official panel publishes the numbers, but browsing them one filter at a time makes it hard to answer ordinary questions — how a single occupation has moved over the past year, which points scores are actually getting invited, how a state compares to the national picture.

The site covers the Submitted, Invited and Lodged counts for the skilled visa subclasses (189, 190 and 491), broken down by occupation, state, month and points score, plus a points calculator that scores you against the current rules.

Everything is free, and no account is required to use any part of it.

Who runs it

I build and maintain eoidata.com on my own. It is an independent, non-commercial side project, not a company — there is no registered business entity behind it, no team, and no paid staff. I am not a registered migration agent and I hold no migration qualifications.

I mention this plainly because it should shape how much weight you give the site: it is a convenient view over public government data, maintained carefully by one person, and nothing more than that. Where the numbers matter to a decision, check them against the source.

Where the data comes from

Every figure on this site traces back to one public source: the SkillSelect EOI data panel published by the Australian Department of Home Affairs, licensed under CC BY 3.0 AU.

Nothing here is estimated, modelled, projected or filled in. If the Department did not publish a number, this site does not show one.

How the numbers are produced

1. The official panel is read each month after the Department reloads it.
2. Each reload is stored as a dated snapshot rather than overwriting the last one. This is what makes the month-over-month history possible: the official dataset updates rows in place, so once an EOI changes status its earlier state is gone from the source.
3. Snapshots are aggregated into the per-occupation, per-state, per-score views the site serves.

Every data page carries a "Data as of" marker showing which monthly snapshot you are looking at, and the underlying official reload time. As of the 07/2026 snapshot the archive covers 28 monthly snapshots starting from April 2024, across 717 ANZSCO occupations.

Limits you should know about

• The EOI pool is not a queue. A high Submitted count for your occupation does not mean those people are ahead of you, and an invitation does not follow from position in any list.
• Counts are point-in-time. An EOI can be withdrawn, expire, or be updated between snapshots, so month-over-month changes are not the same as "people invited that month".
• Occupation and state labels follow the official dataset. Where the Department changes how a dimension is reported, older snapshots keep the labels they were published with.
• Cutoffs are descriptive, not predictive. The lowest invited score in a past round tells you what happened then. It is not a threshold you can rely on for a future round.
• This is not migration advice. See the Disclaimer for the full statement.

If a number here looks wrong, I want to know — a processing bug in a derived dataset is invisible unless someone reports it. Email hello@eoidata.com with the page and the figure, or see the Contact page for privacy and account requests.
