Immigration South Australia has revised its list of sponsored skilled jobs. On 23 September, 40 jobs were removed overnight from the List of Occupations for Provisional Visa sponsorship, meaning that some migrants that had been eligible for migration to this state, are no longer eligible – some, not at all, while 10 new jobs have been added.
Sponsorships will only be considered if the nominated occupation and matching skills assessment is on this list. Applications after this date which are affected by these changes will be unable to proceed with their application. MIA members have been advised that the 176 Permanent Residency List is also being revised.
No advance notice of these changes could be given as the amendments were dependent upon labour market conditions and associated changes. When planning levels for each occupation on the list are achieved, the occupation is taken off the list and is not available for sponsorship. The list is also revised if labour market conditions change to justify any additions.

Maryanne Gruar, Director, True Blue Migration (www.truebluemigration.com) told Australia & New Zealand magazine readers: “This change is a prime example of the fluidity of migration eligibility. You’ll need to reassess your visa options. Is your skilled job on another state list? Could your partner be the primary applicant? Do you have relatives who could sponsor you? Ask an experienced agent to review your situation”
Look out for the January issue of Australia & New Zealand magazine, which will explore in more detail the issues surrounding state sponsorship with recommendations for those who find their migration application affected by changes to job lists.
