South Australia’s state nominated skilled migration program for 2024-2025 is now open and South Australia’s Skilled Occupation List is available to view.
Onshore streams
Eligible onshore applicants who meet requirements can now submit a Registration of Interest (ROI).
464 occupations are available for the onshore streams. ROIs will be reviewed throughout the year and successful applicants will receive an invitation to apply for state nomination through one of the following streams:
- Skilled Employment in South Australia stream – for applicants who have shown commitment to South Australia and have South Australian work experience in their skilled occupation.
- South Australian Graduates stream – South Australia continues to retain those who have studied and work here in SA in their skilled occupation.
- Outer Regional Skilled Employment stream – supporting the regions to address skills shortages in outer regional areas of South Australia, applicants working in the regions in their nominated or closely related occupation can apply through this stream.
Offshore stream
Prospective migrants residing offshore with skills in high demand in South Australia will be considered from their SkillSelect Expression of Interest (EOI) and if successful, they will be invited to apply for South Australian nomination.
427 occupations are open to experienced overseas workers through this stream.
South Australia anticipates that offshore invitation rounds will occur regularly throughout the program year – commencing at program opening and then at the end of each month from September 2024. Interested applicants should ensure that their EOI is current and up to date and that they have selected South Australia as the primary state of interest.
Business Innovation and Investment Program
South Australia is not open to applications for state nomination for the Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188).
Business or investor migrants who already hold a provisional visa (subclass 188) can apply for nomination for the extension stream or permanent visa (subclass 888) if they meet the requirements.
Employer Sponsored Programs
South Australia supports local employers who are unable to fill vacancies from the local labour market through a range of employer sponsored programs. View our website for more information on these programs.
Application fees
The application fees to apply for South Australian nomination in 2024–25 are published on our Application Fees page. Submitting a Registration of Interest will not incur a fee.
