South Australia General Skilled Migration program for 2023–24 is now OPEN!

The South Australia General Skilled Migration program for 2023–24 is now OPEN! This presents an opportunity for skilled individuals looking to embark on their Australian PR Journey through South Australia General Skilled Migration program!

27 Sep 2023, The South Australian Government has just released the Skilled Occupation List for the upcoming year. This means that professions like Sales and Marketing Managers, as well as Customer Service Managers, are now available for offshore applicants under both the 190 and 491 visa categories, with a minimum eligibility requirement of 65 points.

Under this invitation process, South Australia will prioritise the retention of South Australia’s international graduates and temporary visa holders.

South Australia has moved to a Registration of Interest (ROI) process to manage strong demand from potential applicants living and working in the state against a limited allocation of nomination places. This means potential applicants must submit a ROI and be invited to apply for state nomination by South Australia. Potential applicants cannot apply for state nomination directly.

Experienced overseas workers with skills in high-demand in South Australia, such as Trades and Construction, Defence, Health, Education, Natural and Physical Science and Social and Welfare Professionals will be targeted through invitations to apply for South Australian nomination.

South Australia is also seeking highly skilled overseas workers who can make a strong contribution to the state’s fast-growing industries and projects of national priority. This includes people with:

• experience working in the defence industry, and/or
• highly specialised skills in the digital and critical technologies sectors. 

International graduates and other temporary visa holders continue to be considered across a broad list of occupations consistent with previous years, while there are over 290 occupations open to offshore skilled workers.

Sharing the occupation list of SA, which is huge, however, keep in mind that not all occupations are open to Indians (i.e., offshore applicants). You can see the criteria in the details section!
