General Skilled Migration program for 2010-11 for South Australia
The South Australian Government has signed a state migration agreement with the Australian government that will help meet the Australian state's need for skilled migrants. "State migration plans are part of the government's continued commitment to supporting the Australian economy by attracting skilled migrants who can positively contribute to our workforce," said Immigration Minister Chris Bowen.
These changes will help the state migration plans and will provide flexibility for state and territory governments to nominate skilled migrants in a broader range of occupations than are currently offered on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL),
Australian applications are processed on points based immigration system which allows foreign nationals with skills in occupations that exist on the SOL to apply for a permanent residence visa. Some of the applicant’s visas require sponsorship from a state/territory government to qualify. The South Australian state migration plan also specifies a number of occupations that are available for state sponsorship under the General Skilled Migration program for 2010 - 2011.
With more than $80 billion of major projects underway or in the pipeline, and strong prospects of outperforming the national economy over the next decade, there is a great demand for skills in South Australia that may not be met by our local workforce, said the Immigration Minister.
The State Migration Plan lists 258 occupations, some of which will be unique to South Australia. The different Occupations range from trades such as mechanics, welders, and locksmiths to professional occupations such as doctors and engineers.
