South Australias List of Occupations for State Sponsorship April 2010

This list includes occupations that Immigration SA will consider for Permanent (176/886) or Provisional (475/487) Sponsorship. The occupations listed reflect general skills shortages in South Australia and do not relate to a specific job vacancy, nor represent a guarantee of a job in a specific occupation. State Sponsored migrants must compete with all people in the labour market as part of the normal competitive selection process. Off-list Permanent Sponsorship If your occupation is on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) but is not eligible for a Permanent Sponsorship in the list below, you may be eligible for an off-list Permanent Sponsorship if you have a genuine offer of employment in South Australia. Special requirements Some occupations have additional requirements that you must meet in addition to all other sponsorship requirements. The special requirements apply to both Provisional and Permanent Sponsorship applicants. If you hold a valid passport from, and are a citizen of, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, United States of America, or the Republic of Ireland, you must provide an IELTS test result if the requirement is 7.0 or higher. Where the requirement is less than 7.0 no IELTS test result is required. Skills Recognition The Australian Skills Recognition Information site www.immi.gov.au/asri will help you to find out how to get an assessment of your qualifications, skills or experience gained overseas. You can also find State-specific licensing and registration requirements to perform your occupation in South Australia.
