SkillSelect

SkillSelect is an online system that enables skilled workers interested in migrating to Australia to record their details to be considered for a skilled visa through an Expression of Interest (EOI). Intending migrants could be found and nominated for skilled visas by Australian employers or state and territory governments, or they could be invited by the Australian Government to lodge a visa application.

About SkillSelect

SkillSelect is an online system that enables skilled workers interested in migrating to Australia to record their details to be considered for a skilled visa through an Expression of Interest (EOI). People intending to migrate to Australia may be found and nominated for skilled visas by Australian employers or state and territory governments, or they may be invited by the Australian Government to lodge a visa application.

SkillSelect will be implemented on 1 July 2012. All intending migrants interested in the independent skilled, family sponsored skilled, state or territory sponsored skilled, or business skills programs will be required to submit an EOI and receive an invitation in order to lodge a visa application.

SkillSelect—Skilled Workers Expressing Interest in Migrating to Australia

If you want to migrate to Australia as a skilled migrant and you have the skills we need you will need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

You will also be able to express interest in being sponsored by an employer.

Although the key features have been decided, further changes are possible and this information must not be taken as a final description of how SkillSelect will operate. In particular, no action of any kind should be taken on the basis that this will be the final detail and process as further changes to the Migration Regulations to give effect to the final details and process of SkillSelect are likely.



What visa programs can I submit an EOI for?

From 1 July 2012, if you are interested in the following visa programs, you will need to submit an EOI and receive an invitation before you can apply for a visa.

  • Independent Skilled Migration
  • State or Territory Sponsored Skilled Migration
  • Family Sponsored Skilled Migration
  • Business Skills

You can also express interest in the following visa programs on your EOI to be selected by an employer.

  • Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)
  • Regional Sponsored Scheme (RSMS)
  • Temporary Business (Long Stay), subclass 457 program

You can express interest in a range of skilled migration programs in one EOI.
New skilled visa subclasses will be introduced on 1 July 2012 and more information about these visa subclasses will become available in April 2012. If you are interested in submitting an EOI you should return to this website in April to view the new visa options.

What’s an EOI?

An EOI is not the same as a visa application, it is an indication that you would like to be considered for a skilled visa.

You need to provide a range of information in your EOI depending on the visa(s) you want to be considered for, such as:

  • basic personal information
  • nominated occupation
  • work experience
  • study and education
  • level of English skills
  • details of a Skills Assessment, related to your nominated occupation
  • business and investment experience.

For the points based skilled migration programs, such as the independent skilled program, you will be ranked according to the appropriate points test. You will be able to submit an EOI even if you do not meet the pass mark; however, you will not be invited to apply for visa.

Be aware: If you’re invited to apply for a visa, the information you submit in the EOI will be used as part of your application. If you provide misleading or false information on your EOI, it may be considered fraud, and your application could be refused and you will be subject to a three year ban which may prevent the grant of a further visa.

What do I need to do before submitting my EOI?

While you don’t need to submit documents supporting your claims when you submit your EOI, you must have a range of information prepared.
For example, for an independent skilled visa you must have:

  • completed a skills assessment and/or a job ready program
  • taken an English-language test to prove you meet the English language requirement.

Be aware: You must have documents supporting the claims you make in your EOI ready to go. An invitation to make a visa application may be issued very quickly after you submit your EOI and you will only have 60 days to lodge a completed visa application.

How do I submit an EOI?

If you have researched your visa options and prepared the information required, you are ready to submit an EOI. All EOIs must be completed online using SkillSelect. SkillSelect will be implemented on 1 July 2012.

There will be no fee to submit an EOI when SkillSelect is introduced.

Be aware: An EOI is not a visa application and you will not be granted a bridging visa. A bridging visa would only be considered once a valid visa application is lodged. If the visa you hold is about to expire before you are invited and able to apply for a skilled visa, you would need to apply for another visa if you want to remain in Australia. If you do not meet the requirements for grant of another visa, you would need to depart Australia before your visa expires.

What happens after I submit my EOI?

When you complete your EOI the system will give you a points score and results based on your claims.

Your result and points score, along with your time of submission becomes your ranking for some visas. The ranking process will be an objective and automatic process with no involvement of the department’s staff.

You can update your EOI at any time, if the information you update changes your points score, SkillSelect will automatically update your ranking.

How do I get selected?

Depending on what type of visa(s) you want to be considered for, you may receive an invitation to lodge a visa application, or an Australian employer may contact you to discuss a job opportunity.

Independent and family sponsored visas
Invitations will be issued automatically to the highest ranking EOIs subject to occupation ceilings. The department’s staff will not be involved in the selection process.

State and territory sponsored visas
State or territory governments will locate and select skilled workers that they want to nominate. State and territory governments will assess people before they nominate them. If you are nominated by a state or territory you will automatically receive an invitation, subject to occupation ceilings.

Business Skills visas
The business skills visa program is currently under review. Further details about the invitation process for these visas will be available in the coming months.

Employer sponsored visas
Employers can search for and locate skilled workers that they want to discuss job opportunities with. If you are contacted by an employer in SkillSelect, you can choose to respond to them to discuss employment and visa opportunities. You do not need to receive an invitation to apply for a employer sponsored visa.

Occupation ceilings
For people applying for independent, family sponsored or state/territory sponsored visas, there will be occupation ceilings. Occupation ceilings are a limit on how many people are selected for skilled migration from an occupation group. This ensures that the skilled migration program is not dominated by a small number of occupations. Once this limit is reached, no further invitations for that particular occupation group will be issued for that program year. Invitations would then be allocated to other occupation groups even if they are lower scoring.

You will be able to view the occupation ceilings when SkillSelect is introduced.

What happens when I'm selected?

You will receive an invitation from SkillSelect. You will then have 60 days to make a valid visa application online, before the invitation expires.

Be aware:If you do not make a valid visa application after receiving two invitations, your EOI will be removed from SkillSelect.

What happens if I'm not selected?

Many more people want to migrate to Australia than there are places available. This means not everyone who submits an EOI will receive an invitation to apply for a visa.

Your EOI will stay in SkillSelect for two years from the date you lodge. At any time during the validity of your EOI, you may update your details to reflect any additional qualifications or experience you may have obtained. This may increase your ability to be selected.

After each invitation round for the independent and family sponsored visas, the department will publish on this website the lowest scoring points test mark that allowed an EOI to be invited for each occupation group. This will give you an indication of your potential for receiving an invitation in future rounds.

What happens if I lodge a visa before 1 July 2012?

If you lodged a visa application prior to 1 July 2012, it will be processed according to the priority processing direction in effect at the time your visa application is processed.

You can also submit an EOI in SkillSelect. This would allow employers and state or territory governments to view your details which may increase the chances of obtaining a skilled visa.

Regional Sponsored Visa 475

About this visa

This visa is a three (3) year provisional visa for skilled workers who are unable to meet the criteria for a Skilled - Independent visa. You will have the opportunity to apply for permanent residency after you have lived for two (2) years and worked at least 12 months in a Specified Regional Area of Australia.

This visa requires you to be either:

  • nominated by a participating State or Territory government agency, or
  • sponsored by an eligible relative living in a designated area of Australia.

This visa uses a points test to select visa applicants with characteristics needed in the Australian labour market.

Who is this visa for?

This visa is for you if you are:

  • outside Australia, or
  • a New Zealand citizen who holds a Special Category visa (subclass 444)

You must:

  • be under 50 years of age
  • have good English language skills
  • have the skills and qualifications that meet the Australian standard for an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

The SOL is a list of skilled occupations that are in need in Australia. Each occupation listed on the SOL is allocated a points value for use in the visa assessment process.

How much does this visa cost?

You must pay the relevant visa application charge when you lodge your visa application.

What does this visa let me do?

This visa:

  • allows you to remain in Australia for up to three (3) years and requires you to live and work in a Specified Regional Area in Australia
  • allows accompanying secondary applicants to work and study, but only in a Specified Regional Area of Australia
  • provides a pathway to permanent residence.
  • This visa allows you to live and work or study in a Specified Regional Area in Australia for up to three (3) years.

Social security

In general, as a temporary visa holder you will not qualify for Australian social security payments. You will only be eligible for limited JobSearch assistance to find employment after your arrival. It is very important that you understand that you should have enough money to support yourself (and your dependants) until you are able to gain employment.

Medicare

Generally temporary visa holders do not have access to Medicare. Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa holders from countries with which Australia has a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement will have restricted access to Medicare. People without access to Medicare are responsible for all health costs incurred in Australia. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you arrange suitable private health insurance. You may be able to lodge your application for private health insurance before you arrive in Australia. However, you should also be aware that health funds impose a waiting period before a contributor is eligible for some health fund benefits and pre–existing health conditions may not be covered.
