Compare Occupations with SkillSelect EOI Data

SkillSelect is the Australian Government's online system for skilled migration — an Expression of Interest (EOI) is the profile you submit through it, listing your points score, visa options, and preferred occupation, state and English test results. Submitting an EOI doesn't guarantee an invitation; SkillSelect ranks all EOIs in the pool and invites the highest scorers in each round. This free SkillSelect dashboard turns published SkillSelect EOI data into exact Submitted, Invited and Lodged counts by visa, state, occupation, month and points score. To apply this overview to a specific career, analyse EOI data for one occupation. To create or update an EOI, follow the Home Affairs SkillSelect expression of interest guide.

You submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect, entering your points-tested details — skills assessment, age, English, work experience and so on — to generate a points score, then choose which visa(s) and state(s) you're interested in. SkillSelect ranks every EOI in the pool by points score and invites the highest scorers in each round; once invited, you have a limited window to lodge the full visa application. This SkillSelect data page tracks that same pool at the Submitted, Invited and Lodged stages — pick a visa above to see the real numbers. The exact submission steps are set out in the Home Affairs SkillSelect expression of interest instructions.

Pick a visa, state and month above this SkillSelect dashboard, then read the comparison list — one row per occupation with its exact Submitted (in the pool, not yet invited), Invited (received an invitation) and Lodged (visa application lodged) counts. Sort or search to compare occupations, and open any occupation for its monthly trend, its full points-score distribution, or a deep dive. Every number is pulled straight from SkillSelect's own published EOI data — nothing here is estimated. For a concrete visa example beyond the general SkillSelect dashboard, compare Subclass 189 EOI data and trends.

Yes — you can lodge separate EOIs for different visa subclasses (189, 190, 491) and different states at the same time; SkillSelect tracks each visa/state combination as its own EOI. That's also why the numbers on this page can look a little counterintuitive: many people hold multiple EOIs in parallel, and when SkillSelect invites one, it can invite several of that person's other EOI tracks in the same round. The SkillSelect data therefore counts EOI tracks, not unique people. To see how parallel visa and state tracks appear in practice, inspect Subclass 190 EOI data by state.

There's no fixed wait — it depends on your points score relative to how competitive the pool is that round, and each visa/state has its own effective cutoff that moves month to month. Work out your own points score with the calculator, then use this SkillSelect data dashboard to compare Submitted vs Invited EOI counts across different months and see how quickly people at your score level have been moving through the pool.

In the SkillSelect data, State = ANY, shown on this site as “Not state-specific”, is not a ninth Australian state. It means the EOI record is not tied exclusively to one named state or territory — for example, the candidate may be open to nomination by any eligible jurisdiction. SkillSelect can also publish an ANY track alongside one or more specific-state tracks for the same EOI, with those tracks moving through statuses together. Because of that overlap, ANY and the individual state counts are not mutually exclusive groups of people and should not be added together to estimate a unique total. Stateless visas such as Subclass 189 use N/A instead, because state nomination does not apply to them. To see how ANY sits alongside named jurisdictions, compare the Subclass 190 EOI data by state.

Every number here is compiled from the Australian Government's own SkillSelect system (Department of Home Affairs), refreshed monthly right after each official data reload — no manual estimation. eoidata.com holds no private or authenticated migration data; everything shown is derived from SkillSelect's published figures. You can compare the figures with the government’s SkillSelect EOI Data report.
