Common questions about the SkillSelect queue
What is an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect?
An EOI is your entry in Australia’s SkillSelect pool for a points-tested skilled visa — subclass 189, 190 or 491. You’re ranked by your points score, then by your date of effect, and invited to apply when your turn arrives. EOI Track shows exactly where you sit in that queue.
How many points do I need for Australian PR (189, 190 or 491)?
65 points is the minimum to be invited, but real cut-offs for popular occupations are usually much higher — often 90 or more in high-demand fields. Use the free points calculator to estimate your score, then check the recent cut-offs for your occupation.
How long does it take to be invited after lodging an EOI?
It depends on your occupation, your points and how many invitations are issued each round. Some occupations are invited within months; others take years. EOI Track estimates your wait from your occupation’s recent invitation pace — and Plus gives you a dated forecast that recalculates after every round.
What’s the difference between subclass 189, 190 and 491?
Subclass 189 is points-tested and permanent, with no state or sponsor needed. Subclass 190 is also permanent but needs a state nomination (worth +5 points). Subclass 491 is a 5-year regional provisional visa (+15 points) that can lead to permanent residency after you meet the regional living and income requirements.
How is my position in the queue worked out?
Within a visa, applicants are ordered first by total points (highest first), then by date of effect — the date your EOI reached its current points — earliest first. So someone on your score who lodged earlier sits ahead of you. EOI Track counts exactly how many are ahead, by points and date.
Is EOI Track official, and where does the data come from?
EOI Track is independent and unofficial. Every figure traces back to SkillSelect’s own published EOI and invitation data — counted, not guessed. It’s general information to help you understand the queue, not migration advice; for advice on your situation, see a registered migration agent (MARA).
