The government of South Australia has released the new list of State Nominated Occupation which comes into effect today. This list is available to all applicants, including international graduates of South Australia.
This is a list of occupations derived from the Consolidated Skilled Occupation List (CSOL) that are considered to be in demand in the state of South Australia. Applicants who are seeking state nomination in South Australia under the General Skilled Migration program, must have an occupation that features on this list to apply unless they meet the Supplementary Skilled List requirements.
According to Immigration South Australia, Occupations are chosen based on detailed workforce analysis of current skill shortages and the likely demand of those skills in the future. The analysis involves extensive industry consultation with associations and industry-linked training councils. It also takes into account various other criteria such as the age of the workforce, supply from local and international graduates, and interstate migration.
A host of occupations have been opened up for state nomination including chief executives, general managers, farmers, farm managers, chefs, restaurant managers, ICT professionals etc.
Occupations on this list meet a minimum skill level.
