South Australiaโ€™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 allโ€ฏrelevant streams for 2026-27 GSM program. Please view theโ€ฏhow to apply page for more information.
