South Australia’s General Skilled Migration Program Update

South Australia is now open for Registrations of Interest (ROI) for individuals living and working in South Australia whose current visas are due to expire by 31 January 2027.

Offshore candidates may continue to lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect. Offshore applicants are not required to submit an ROI, as suitable candidates will be invited directly from their EOI lodged in SkillSelect.

Invitations will be issued to suitable candidates from both onshore and offshore cohorts, with a focus on candidates working in priority sectors, including building and construction, defence, education, engineering, health and manufacturing. High-ranking candidates in non-priority sectors may also be considered. All applicants must have a current EOI lodged in SkillSelect.

You can find information on all available occupations for 2026-27 GSM program via the Skilled Occupations List.

Please ensure you have read the requirements for all relevant streams for 2026-27 GSM program. Please view the how to apply page for more information.

FY2026-27 NSW Skilled Migration Program

Welcome to the latest NSW skilled migration update. In this edition, you’ll find information about the opening of the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) program, the first subclass 190 invitation round, the updated NSW Skills List and the latest on the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) program.

Subclass 190 nomination program now open

We’re pleased to announce that the NSW nomination program for the subclass 190 is now open. Learn more about the NSW nomination program. If you’re a prospective applicant or migration professional, please review the eligibility requirements before submitting or updating an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

First subclass 190 invitation round

NSW expects to conduct its first subclass 190 invitation round in the week commencing 19 October 2026. If you’re hoping to be invited, keep your SkillSelect EOI up to date and make sure you can provide valid evidence for every claim in your EOI.

Updated NSW Skills List for subclass 190

Want to know which occupations NSW is targeting? NSW has published the updated NSW Skills List for the 2026-27 program year.
The list aligns with the critical skills areas identified as priorities in the NSW Government’s State Migration Plan 2024-28 that are experiencing significant demand. It identifies eligible occupations at the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) unit group level. All occupations within an identified unit group that are eligible for the subclass 190 visa are eligible for an invitation for NSW nomination. Occupations that do not appear on the NSW Skills List will not be considered for an invitation for NSW nomination.

Subclass 491 nominations update

Interested in regional skilled migration opportunities in NSW? Applications for the subclass 491 visa under all pathways remain closed to new applicants. We will provide a further update when further information becomes available.
