South Australia introduces interim immigration sponsorship list

The South Australian State Government recently announced their new State Sponsorship list for overseas workers to live and work in South Australia. State Sponsorship is an excellent way for people with the right skills to immigrate to Australia.

The extensive list includes occupations in sectors such as engineering, health care, construction, and accountancy. Occupation skill levels range from trade skills to professional occupations.

State Sponsorship visas are a subset of Australia's overall General Skilled Migration programme, a popular points based immigration system which scores applicants based on criteria such as age, qualifications, and work experience.

The South Australian Interim Sponsorship List will remain in place until the South Australian State Migration Plan and occupation list is implemented later this year.
