South Australia has unveiled its Skilled Occupation List for 2023-24 (General Skilled Migration program), introducing a Registration of Interest (ROI) system to manage the influx of potential applicants. This system is designed to balance the high demand from individuals residing and working in the state with the limited availability of nomination slots.
The South Australian Government has transitioned to an ROI process to streamline applications. This implies that aspirants are required to submit an ROI and await an invitation to apply for state nomination from South Australia, prohibiting direct applications for state nomination.
Priority to International Graduates and Temporary Visa Holders:
South Australia is emphasizing the retention of its international graduates and temporary visa holders, prioritizing them under this invitation process. This approach ensures that the state retains a diverse and skilled workforce, contributing to its overall development and growth.
Targeting Experienced Overseas Workers:
The state is actively seeking experienced overseas professionals possessing skills in sectors experiencing high demand in South Australia. Professions within Trades and Construction, Defence, Health, Education, Natural and Physical Science, and Social and Welfare are particularly targeted. These individuals are approached through invitations to apply for South Australian nomination, ensuring the state has access to a pool of skilled and experienced individuals.

South Australia is on the lookout for highly skilled overseas workers capable of significantly contributing to the state’s rapidly expanding industries and nationally prioritized projects. The focus is on individuals with experience in the defense industry and those with specialized skills in digital and critical technologies sectors. The inclusion of such skilled individuals is crucial for the state’s progression in these pivotal sectors.
Opportunities for International Graduates and Temporary Visa Holders:
International graduates and other temporary visa holders are evaluated across a wide range of occupations, maintaining consistency with previous years. Moreover, over 290 occupations are available to offshore skilled workers, offering a plethora of opportunities for individuals around the globe.
2023–24 Business Innovation and Investment Program:
Currently, South Australia is not accepting applications for state nomination for the Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188). However, business or investor migrants possessing a provisional visa (subclass 188) are eligible to apply for nomination for the extension stream or permanent visa (subclass 888) in 2023–24, as these are not constrained by a nomination cap.
South Australia’s Skilled Occupation List for 2023-24 and the introduction of the ROI process mark a strategic approach to managing the demand for state nominations. By prioritizing international graduates, temporary visa holders, and experienced overseas workers, South Australia is fostering a diverse and skilled workforce to drive the state’s growth in various high-demand sectors. The opportunities presented by the state are extensive, spanning across numerous occupations and industries, and are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the state’s future landscape.
