Australia: Changes to Occupations Eligible for South Australian Sponsored Visa Programs
Due to planning levels being achieved, some occupations have been removed from the Permanent Sponsorship and Provisional Sponsorship lists of the South Australian sponsored visa program, the Australian Visa Bureau reports. One occupation (hairdresser) was removed from the Permanent Sponsorship list, and several occupations (including construction project manager, statistician, health information manager, social professional, hairdresser and various scientist positions) were removed from the Provisional Sponsorship list. These amendments follow the Australian federal government’s recent changes to the General Skilled Migration Program, which reduced the number of occupations listed on the Critical Skills List.
