a) High Points
The high points gateway will continue for the applicants who have managed to score 80 points on Australia’s Department of Home Affairs Points Test from a list of 469 occupations. However, the minimum points requirements may get rise during the program year which ultimately leads to the close of specific occupations for high points nomination.

Chain migration is now available for the state nomination for the Skilled Provisional Visa (Subclass 489). The immediate family member has to reside for at least 24 months in South Australia.
c) International Graduates of South Australia
The International students of South Australia have to work for three months in a skilled occupation in South Australia to meet the work experience requirements. The Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education graduates have to meet the three months work experience requirements irrespective of the occupation they are applying for whereas some occupations in South Australia Occupation List demands twelve months experience for International Graduates of South Australia.

South Australia State nomination is applicable for those for those who have real intention to settle in South Australia.
Following changes made for the applicants who have worked or stayed interstate and wish to extend their period in South Australia:
1) Candidates who have done their studies or worked in the last 10 years (but not in South Australia) are eligible to apply for State nomination for a provisional 489 visa.
2) Candidates who have worked or studied in SA as well as in another state are only eligible to apply for the State nomination for a provisional 489 visa if their commitment is more towards South Australia than any other Australian States.
Note : If the applicant is nominated for the provisional 489 visa then they can’t apply for the 190 visa. As per the new rules, Immigration SA will only issue one nomination per applicant.
