Breaking News: South Australia Introduces New Nomination Process for Skilled Workers in 2023-24
The South Australian Government has opened up exciting opportunities for skilled professionals looking to make South Australia their home in 2023-24. With the release of the Skilled Occupation List (SOL), they’ve also introduced a Registration of Interest (ROI) process to manage high demand for state nominations.
In this post, we’ll dive into what the SOL means for potential applicants and how you can take advantage of this new system to build your future in South Australia.
The ROI Process: A New Dawn for South Australia Immigration
In response to strong interest from potential applicants, South Australia has shifted to a Registration of Interest (ROI) process. Instead of directly applying for state nomination, candidates are now required to submit an ROI and await an invitation from South Australia to apply. This change is aimed at ensuring that the limited nomination places are allocated wisely.
Prioritizing Local Graduates and High-Demand Skills
South Australia is keen on retaining its international graduates and temporary visa holders. For those with skills in high-demand sectors like Trades and Construction, Defence, Health, Education, Natural and Physical Sciences, and Social and Welfare Professions, the chances of receiving an invitation to apply for state nomination are promising.
Opportunities in South Australia’s Growing Industries
If you possess expertise in areas like the defence industry or highly specialized skills in digital and critical technologies, South Australia is actively seeking your talents. The state is committed to harnessing the potential of skilled workers who can contribute to its rapidly growing industries and national priority projects.
Wide-Open Doors for Offshore Skilled Workers
South Australia continues to welcome international graduates and temporary visa holders across a diverse range of occupations. With over 290 occupations available for offshore skilled workers, there are ample opportunities to explore and consider.
Business Innovation and Investment
While South Australia isn’t accepting applications for the Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188) in 2023-24, business and investor migrants with existing provisional visas (subclass 188) can apply for nomination for extension or permanent visas (subclass 888) as these are not subject to nomination caps.
Application Policy
The application fees for South Australian nomination in 2023-24 can be found on their official website. Importantly, submitting a Registration of Interest is free of charge, making it accessible to a wide range of potential applicants.
Conclusion
South Australia’s 2023-24 Skilled Occupation List and the new ROI process provide an exciting opportunity for skilled professionals looking to establish themselves in this vibrant Australian state.
Whether you’re a recent graduate, an experienced professional, or an offshore skilled worker, South Australia has a place for you.
Take the first step towards your South Australian dream by understanding the process and preparing for the exciting journey ahead. Your future in South Australia awaits!
