While Australia’s states and territories are yet to release their new state migration plans, South Australia has released an interim list that will be in operation for sponsorship applications until that state’s migration plan is finalised. You can see the list by visiting the page below and following the link to “interim list”:
http://www.migration.sa.gov.au/sa/immigrate_from_overseas/visa_options/gen_skill3.jsp
There will be some people disappointed by the list’s heavy focus on certain occupations and lack of inclusion of certain other occupations. However, it is not the final list and you should watch closely for further developments in South Australia and the other states and territories.
State sponsorship can make it easier for you to pass the General Skilled Migration (GSM) points test and can reduce your processing time for a GSM visa application. Please contact us for advice if you have any questions about State Sponsorship or skilled worker migraion to Australia.
