Mid-year update to the Immigration SA occupation lists … Australia Immigration

Immigration SA has conducted a mid-year review of its occupation lists – the State Nominated Occupation List (SNOL) and the Supplementary Skilled List (SSL). Changes will take effect on the afternoon of 11 February 2019.

Occupations added to the SNOL for the remainder of the 2018-19 program year

323299Metal Fitters and Machinists necCompetent EnglishTRA
323313LocksmithCompetent EnglishTRA
351211Butcher or Smallgoods MakerCompetent EnglishTRA

The remaining changes mostly reflect the reintroduction of selected occupations that had reached the special conditions status (on the SNOL) or which were no longer available to offshore applicants (on the SSL).

Only limited places have been made available across these occupations, with the additional places made possible due to the level of refusals in earlier applications that did not meet Immigration SA’s stated requirements or Department of Home Affairs minimum requirements.

Occupations on the SNOL with “Special conditions” status to be removed

(and therefore accessible to more offshore applicants).
