Using SA nomination for subclass 190 and 491 visas

Why South Australia is popular

South Australia, with Adelaide as its capital, offers a lower cost of living, quality universities and regional migration benefits. The state runs its own nomination program for subclass 190 and 491 visas, with streams for SA graduates, workers and people outside Australia.

Typical requirements

Requirements often include living in South Australia for a set period, working in your nominated or a closely related occupation, and meeting points and English scores. Settings can change every program year, so always check the latest criteria before registering interest.
