How many Expression of Interest (EOIs) should I submit ?

Note

• You can use the same email address for all EOIs.
• If you are onshore, you can only submit (190/491) EOIs for the state you live in + WA.

How many to submit ?

Assuming your nominated occupation is eligible for the selected subclass and the desired states, we generally recommend that you submit:

• 1 EOI for Subclass 189
• 1 EOI for 491 Family Sponsored Stream (if you are eligible)
• 1 EOI per state (190/491) for all states except:
  • For NSW submit one EOI for NSW + 190 and one EOI for NSW + 491
  • For WA, submit one EOI for WA + 190 and one EOI for WA + 491

For example: If your occupation is eligible for subclass 189 and all states, you will end up submitting:

• 189 (1 EOI) +
• 491 Family Sponsored Stream (1 EOI) +
• 190/491 (6 EOIs) +
• WA190 (1 EOI) +
• WA491 (1 EOI) +
• NSW190(1 EOI) +
• NSW491 (1 EOI)

= Total 12 EOIs (assuming you are interested in all states).

📍This is the minimum number of recommended EOIs in this chosen example. However, depending on your personal situation, you may need to submit more or less number of EOIs.
