South Australia was the first of three states to release their State Migration Plan, albeit called an Interim List. Already there have been two updates which have been copied and pasted below about certain occupations that have already reached their planning levels. We are urging anyone who is considering applying for state sponsorship for South Australia, Victoria or the Australian Capital Territory to act now and lodge your application to avoid disappointment. We can assist with state sponsorship and we can confirm by an online consultation if you will need to rely on state sponsorship to meet the points test for the General Skilled Migration program. A tip for all you would be Australian Migrants, soon people who have state sponsorship will be prioritised for visa processing ahead of those who have not gained state sponsorship.
