Status
ROIs open for people living and working in South Australia whose current visas expire by 31 January 2027. Offshore candidates don’t submit an ROI: suitable candidates are invited directly from their SkillSelect EOI.
How people are chosen
South Australia uses: Most competitive, priority industries first. Focus on priority sectors (building and construction, defence, education, engineering, health and manufacturing). High-ranking candidates in non-priority sectors may also be considered. Priority-industry candidates whose occupation is 190-eligible may be invited for 190; others may be invited for 491. SA weighs: English language proficiency; Years of skilled experience in your nominated occupation; Skills and qualification level; Salary; Assessment of employer.
