Immigration SA will be publishing a revised South Australian State Occupation List on 1 July 2015.
Occupations that are not available on the State Occupation List will be listed on the Supplementary Skilled List and are available to applicants who meet additional requirements. The Supplementary Skilled List reflects all occupations available on the Commonwealth’s Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL) that are not listed on South Australia’s State Occupation List.

The application system will be closed down at 1 pm on 30 June 2015 and re-opened at 12 pm on 1 July 2015.
