South Australia's 2023-24 Skilled Occupation List Update
Publish Date:
27/09/2023
The South Australian Government has released the 2023-24 Skilled Occupation List.
It has adopted a Registration of Interest (ROI) system to manage the high demand for state nominations, requiring applicants to submit an ROI and await an invitation.
Priority will be given to retaining international graduates and temporary visa holders within the state.
Skilled overseas workers in high-demand fields like Trades and Construction, Defense, Health, Education, Natural and Physical Science, and Social and Welfare Professionals will receive invitations for state nomination.
South Australia is actively seeking highly skilled workers for fast-growing industries and national priority projects, particularly those with experience in the defense industry and specialized skills in digital and critical technologies.
International graduates and temporary visa holders have a broad range of occupation options, with over 290 occupations open to offshore skilled workers.
South Australia is not currently accepting applications for state nomination for the Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188).
Business and investor migrants holding a provisional visa (subclass 188) can apply for nomination for the extension stream or permanent visa (subclass 888) in the 2023-24 period without a nomination cap.
