To start your EOI you need to set up an account in SkillSelect. You will need to enter your:
- name
- date of birth
- country of passport
- citizenship
- country of residence
- relationship status
- email address.
Once you have set up your password and answered some security questions, we will email you your EOI number. Your account is now active and you can start collecting the information required to submit your EOI.
Information you will need
As well as providing information about yourself, there are things you may need to do before you can submit your EOI.
Skills assessment
You will need to get a
skills assessment in the occupation you are nominating before you can submit your EOI. A skills assessment is an independent assessment of your skills and qualifications by a relevant Australian
assessing authority. You will need to include the date of the skills assessment, the name of the assessing authority and the reference/receipt number.
English language test
You may need to take an English language test and score at least
competent English. If you are a citizen of Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK or the USA, a valid passport is considered evidence of competent English. If you are required to take an English test, you will need to include the test details and your results. Additional points are awarded for
proficient or
superior English skills.
Your partner and any children aged 18 or older you include in your application will need to have at least
functional English by the time the visa decision is made.
Educational qualifications
You will be asked for information about your educational qualifications, including the name of the qualification, course and institution, the campus and country where you studied and the dates.
Work history
You will need to provide details of your work history for the past 10 years, including:
- position
- name of your employer
- dates of employment
- if the work was related to the occupation you are nominating in your EOI.
