Skilled Sponsored Visas
State governments in Australia are keen to provide job opportunities to attract skilled migrants who are working in occupations that are in short supply. The Skilled Sponsored Occupation Lists for Australian States are designed to meet the needs of business and industry where employers are having difficulty finding skilled workers in Australian states. Upon application to one of these state governments, applicants who otherwise would not pass the points test can now be considered if the occupation is on their Skills Sponsored Occupations Demand List.
If your immigration is successful under this scheme you will receive a permanent residence visa for Australia.
- Be aged under 45
- Have competent English
- Possess formal trade or professional qualifications that permit immigration to Australia
- Have at least twelve months recent work experience in a skilled occupation (unless they have Australian qualifications)
- Priority processing
Applicants are usually required to submit a successful skills assessment in your nominated occupation, evidence of English language ability and evidence of funds.

New Skilled Visas for Regional Australia
The Australian Government recently announced that it will introduce a new visa for skilled migrants who are prepared to live and work in regional Australia.
From 1 July 2004, eligible people who want to come to Australia as skilled migrants will be able to obtain a three-year temporary residence visa (Temporary Skilled - Independent Regional Migration Visa) if they commit to living and working in regional Australia. Use the links above to find appropriate job opportunities.
Two years after immigration, they will be able to apply for permanent residency.
Under the new visa type, existing minimum requirements for skilled immigration will still need to be met. Applicants will need to:
- be under 45 years of age when they apply,
- have at least vocational English,
- nominate an occupation on the Skilled Occupations List (a skilled occupation), and
- be found suitable for that occupation by the relevant Australian assessing authority
- have recent work experience in a skilled occupation, or
- have recently completed an Australian qualification.
The new visa is aimed only at skilled migrants who can meet the minimum requirements for the visa. People who cannot meet these requirements should not apply.
