On last Friday, SA has published some additional instructions for the state nomination of the ICT occupations. Here's a list of things which you must know:
- Immigration SA will require offshore applicants for ICT occupations on the State Nominated Occupation List (in 2018-19) will have to meet higher points requirement on the Department of Home Affair's points test.
ICT occupations offshore applicants:
- Candidates have to refer to the State Nominated Occupation List for more details on the minimum points required for your specific occupation.
- The initial minimum points requirement is 70 points (including state nomination points). Then maybe reduced to 65 and then 60 based on the number of applications.
- Once the planning level is met, it will be listed under special conditions , and the applicants will only be eligible if they meet one of the special conditions categories.
ICT occupations Working in South Australia / South Australian Graduates:
- If you are currently working in SA or an International Graduate of SA, a minimum 60 points will be required (including State Nomination Points)
(Note: Higher points are not required in these case)
ICT occupations Work Experience Points:
- If you claim work experience points prior to this date listed on your skills assessment, your state nomination application will be refused due to points being incorrectly claimed.
