Australia’s Northern Territory (NT) Government can nominate highly skilled professionals and tradespeople for visas.

Nomination is possible if you have a positive skills assessment for a skilled occupation on the Australian Government’s current list of eligible skilled occupations and the NT Migration Occupation List.

The assessment must be from the authorised Australian assessment body.

You need to have skills and experience that match the needs of NT employers and are in demand in the NT.

The NT Government participates in the Skilled Regional (Provisional) (Subclass 489) visa and Skilled Nominated (Subclass 190) visa schemes.

To apply for NT Government nomination you must lodge:

• a nomination application with the NT Government
• an Expression of Interest (EOI) on the Australian Government’s SkillSelect service.

The NT Government does not select candidates for nomination from the SkillSelect service.

To get an invitation from the Australian Government to lodge a visa application under the General Skilled Migration program you must have lodged an EOI on the SkillSelect service.

Applicants already in the territory: You may be exempt from the specialisation requirements if you can show that you already live and work in the NT and you can demonstrate positive future employment prospects.

Language Skill Level: Some occupations on this list require a specific language skill level.  These will be stated in the additional comments.  Where there are no indicators, the required level of English is at least IELTS 6 in each band or equivalent in one of the other English testing systems accepted by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

State Comments:

The Supplementary Skilled List reflects occupations available on the Short Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) that are not available on South Australia’s State Occupation List. These occupations are only available if you meet the additional requirements listed here.

This list of occupations has not been identified as being in shortage; they are available to limited applicants who can demonstrate employment outcomes or family links to support human capital and economic objectives of South Australia’s participation in the skilled migrant program. The list is available to international graduates of South Australia; skilled migrants who are working in a skilled occupation in South Australia (minimum time periods apply); have immediate family members permanently residing in South Australia who can support their settlement whilst seeking employment; or who demonstrate strong employability qualities (based on scoring very highly on the DIBP Points Test).

Please note that some occupations in this list may have certain barriers to being immediately eligible for employment.  Please research your employment opportunities thoroughly before choosing South Australian state nomination. It is your responsibility to determine your employability, if your occupation requires further training, or if it has registration, licensing, residency or other requirements before you can work in South Australia.
