General Skilled Migration 190/489 - South Australian State nomination made easier for UK Canada NZ US and Rep of Ireland
Immigration SA has made it easier for citizens and current passport holders of exempt countries to apply for South Australian state nomination.
Exempt Countries include:
United Kingdom
Canada
New Zealand
United States of America
Republic of Ireland
If you are a citizen or passport holder of one of the listed exempt countries, you no longer need to provide an English test result (IELTS or OET) to Immigration SA regardless of Immigration SA’s English requirement for your occupation.
If you are an International Graduate of South Australia and a citizen or passport holder of one of the listed exempt countries, you can also access the Immigration SA work experience waiver for ‘available’ occupations. See point eight under eligibility requirements for information on how to qualify for a work experience waiver.
Please note you may still require an IELTS or OET to gain additional points on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) points test. Additionally Skills Assessing Authorities and Registration / Licensing bodies in South Australia have their own English / work experience requirements so people from exempt countries need to ensure they can meet those requirements prior to applying for state nomination.
