South Australia (SA) – Offshore Occupations List for 2024-25
Skilled migrants currently living outside Australia who have lodged an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Australian Government’s SkillSelect system may be invited by South Australia to apply for state nomination.
Initial Steps for Migrants Residing Offshore
Suppose you are living overseas and wish to relocate to South Australia. In that case, the first step is to submit an EOI in SkillSelect, making sure to select South Australia as your preferred State or Territory.
The South Australian Government will evaluate your EOI to determine eligibility for the Skilled Nominated (Permanent) visa (subclass 190) or the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
Work Experience Requirements
For most professions, applicants must have a minimum of three years of skilled work experience in their nominated or related occupation within the last five years to receive an invitation for state nomination.

Proficiency in the English language

Special Requirements for Construction Trades
For applicants in construction trades, a minimum of one year of skilled work experience in their nominated or related occupation within the last three years is required.
