EOI goes straight to SkillSelect, whereas ROI is direct to the state AFAIK—it’s up to the state, so some require it and others don’t. Usually ROIs are done separately, for example sa state website, but are submitted in tandem with an EOI.
Hindi ko lang alam why it exists exactly.

Some states prefer it as it helps more with their admin side of things.

Thanks po sa insight. Mas naintidihan ko na ngayon. So dapat po ei check ang state kung nag.rerequire pa sila ng ROI after ko gumawa ng EOI.

Hello po, for NSW, better po ba to submit separate EOIs for 190 and 491? or ok lang po ba to indicate both subclasses in the same EOI?
What I know is that for NSW, you should indicate that as your only preferred territory/state. Not sure po for subclass selection. Thank you in advance!

good evening! question lang po, graduate po ako ng medtech tapos assessed na siya ng AIMS as comparable to the educational level of an australian bachelor degree. ask ko lang po kung sa EOI, "Bachelor Degree (Other)" or yung "Bachelor Degree in Science, Business or Technology" po ise-select ko?
maraming salamat po sa sasagot.

Hello po, magtatanong lang po ako if kelangan din po ba magpa-assess ng spouse for work experience. Pareho po kasi kaming engineers, ako po ang main applicant and dependent si husband. Just want to know po if requirement na ma-assess din sya ng Engineers Australia, or optional lang po ba yun? And if magpapa-assess sya, may effect po ba yun sa points na makukuha namin like madadagdagan po ba? Thank you po.

190 is not subject to priority points. The selection criteria is dependent on the state. Hence, you need to aim for the highest point’s possible for you and just lodge your EOI. If you meet the state nomination selection criteria, you will get invited.

as far as i know, VIC lang ang may ROI. MAG SESEND ka ng ROI after mo mag EOI. Kasi need yung EOI ID to submit ROI FOR VIC nomination.

Ah... ganun po ba... cge2 poh.. thanku... i've read kasi sa NSW regional sponsorship na regional RDA requires you to submit and be assessed by them po, so ngrrequire sila ng ROI, and you need to pay like $800aud for the said RDA assessment.
