South Australia is an exciting place to live and work, offering you excellent opportunities to make your next career move, and enjoy a lifestyle that offers you more. If you are a skilled migrant, you may be eligible for state nomination.
The General Skilled Migration program helps South Australia build a diverse, skilled workforce and South Australian businesses meet their skilled workforce needs. This supports the development of the State’s priority sectors and powers the economic growth of regional communities.
To achieve these objectives, the Program’s core policy settings are designed in accordance with detailed labour market analysis and identified areas of skills shortage. These include:
- Prioritising international graduates from South Australian education providers who fill areas of skills shortage by gaining strong skilled employment outcomes – in line with their qualifications.
- Attracting overseas skilled workers who can fill labour market shortages that require higher levels of experience, highly specialised skills gaps and immediate shortages resulting from large projects or emerging growth sectors.
- Providing incentives for skilled migrants to fill skills shortages in regional South Australia.
