Subclass 190 EOI Data

State nomination availability for the 190 (State Nominated) visa changes state by state and month by month — each state and territory runs its own nomination criteria and occupation list, and can pause or reopen independently. Rather than guess, use the state Tabs in the Snapshot & Trend section above: switch between NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT and ACT to see that state's actual Submitted, Invited and Lodged EOI counts and trend, straight from SkillSelect. For the next step, see New South Wales state nomination data.

The Subclass 190 (State Nominated) visa is a permanent, points-tested visa for skilled workers who have been nominated by an Australian state or territory government — nomination adds bonus points to your score in exchange for a commitment to live and work in that state for a period. You submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect showing your points score and state preference; the state government reviews and nominates suitable EOIs, and SkillSelect then issues the visa invitation. The numbers on this page are that same SkillSelect EOI pool for the 190 visa, snapshotted month by month — Submitted, Invited and Lodged — broken down further by state using the Tabs above. For the governing rule, see Subclass 190 visa requirements.

There's no fixed points score — the 190 visa is fully points-tested, but unlike the 189 visa, a successful state nomination adds bonus points to your total, which is often what pushes a borderline points score over a state's effective invitation cutoff. Because each state sets its own nomination criteria and occupation demand, the score that gets invited in one state can differ from another — switch between the state Tabs above to compare each state's actual Submitted and Invited numbers. Work out your own points score, including the nomination bonus, with the points calculator. Calculate your score, including nomination points, with the Australia PR Points Calculator.

Getting a 190 visa is a two-step process: first you submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect nominating the state(s) you're interested in, then the relevant state or territory government reviews your EOI against its own occupation list and criteria and decides whether to nominate you — a step the 189 visa doesn't require at all. Once nominated, your points score gets the nomination bonus and SkillSelect issues the visa invitation; you then have a limited window to lodge the full application. This page tracks the EOI-stage numbers only (Submitted, Invited, Lodged) — the state nomination decision itself happens outside SkillSelect, on each state's own nomination portal.

The 190 (State Nominated) visa requires an active state or territory nomination — which adds bonus points but ties you to living in that state for a period — unlike the 189 (Skilled Independent) visa, which needs no nomination at all, or the 491 (Skilled Regional) visa, which is provisional rather than permanent and requires regional living instead. You can lodge separate EOIs for 189, 190 and 491 at the same time; SkillSelect tracks each visa/state combination independently, so an invitation on one does not rule out the others. Compare the same Submitted and Invited EOI numbers on the Subclass 189 page. For the next step, see Subclass 189 EOI data and trends.

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.
