SkillSelect

What is SkillSelect?

SkillSelect is an Australian immigration platform that administers the Expression of Interest (EOI) points based Immigration system. SkillSelect also connects skilled international workers with Australian employers. The system operates through an online platform that brings together workers and employers based on skills and needs. Employers can check an employee’s profile, nominate a foreign worker to apply for a visa and answer questions about his background, skills, education, experience and work experience.

The SkillSelect platform comprises eight categories of skilled worker visas, and for each of these categories, specific selection skills are required. Each category of skilled worker visa is subject to the same eligibility criteria as the other visa categories, such as age, gender, education and qualifications.
