South Australia Opens Skilled Migration Program For 2024-2025

Adelaide, South Australia - South Australia has officially opened its state-nominated skilled migration program for the 2024-2025 period, offering new opportunities for both onshore and offshore applicants. The program features a total of 464 occupations available through various onshore streams, and 427 occupations open to experienced overseas workers.

Onshore Streams: Eligible onshore applicants who meet the requirements can now submit a Registration of Interest (ROI). These applicants can apply through one of three dedicated streams:

• 1. Skilled Employment in South Australia Stream: Targeted applicants with South Australian work experience in their skilled occupation, demonstrating their commitment to the state.
• 2. South Australian Graduates Stream: Aims to retain individuals who have studied and are now working in South Australia within their skilled occupation.
• 3. Outer Regional Skilled Employment Stream: Focuses on addressing skills shortages in outer regional areas of the state, allowing applicants employed in their nominated or closely related occupation in these regions to apply.

Offshore Stream: Prospective migrants residing offshore with skills in high demand in South Australia will be considered based on their Skill Select Expression of Interest (EOI). If successful, they will receive an invitation to apply for a South Australian nomination. The state government has announced plans for regular offshore invitation rounds throughout the program year, starting at the program’s opening and continuing at the end of each month from September 2024.

Interested applicants are encouraged to ensure their EOIs are current and that South Australia is selected as their primary state of interest.
