All people interested in the points based skilled migration will need to submit an EOI and receive an invitation in order to lodge a visa application. An EOI is an indication that you would like to be considered for a skilled visa. An EOI is not a visa application. You must be under 45 years of age to submit an EOI. You can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through Skill select.
This is the actual starting point to deal with immigration authority of Australia https://www.border.gov.au
Once you submit your completed EOI, you will receive a confirmation notification from SkillSelect. Your EOI will then remain in SkillSelect for a maximum of two years. SkillSelect will calculate your points, assess your eligibility and will provide feedback when you submit for points tested visa. You can also access your EOI and update your information at any time. You might want to do this if you have gained new work experience, gained a higher qualification, improved your English language ability and/or changed your family composition. You will be able to view a report to see where you were awarded points after you submit your EOI.

There can only be one invitation on an EOI at any time even if more than one visa subclass has been selected. For example if you have a current invitation to apply for a subclass 190 visa you cannot receive an invitation to apply for a subclass 189 visa.
