New South Wales Announces Its Occupation List for the Year 2018-19

New South Wales has updated its Occupation List for State Sponsored Visa Subclass 190, along with the addition of five points to an overall points score of an applicant for a Permanent Visa. This year also the State Government will invite high score candidates in the occupations mentioned in the New South Wales Occupation List.  The selection and invitation criteria will be based on an online basis throughout the financial year.

  • Like the other Australian States, the NSW collaboration with Department of Home Affairs has its own skilled migration program under which the Government of NSW buttress the visa applications as per the requirement by the State and to meet the labor gap.
  • The NSW Government has started its immigration program with the new skilled list for the State Sponsored Visa Subclass 190. Under the State Sponsored Visa, the government chooses those candidates who have a nomination from the particular state and whose occupation is highly in demand in the list. The selected candidates have to perpetrate to live and work in NSW for their initial two years on this visa.
  • In the new occupation list, there is an inclusion of Management consultant but occupations like cook, hotel, motel managers, and special need teachers have been evacuated from the list. The best news is that the Enrolled Nurse Occupation still persists on the list which is the most popular occupation among South Asians.
  • The 190 Visa is known as a points-based visa. The applicants who receive a nomination from states get five additional points in their overall points score. The addition of five points really helps applicants in getting the Permanent Visa because it helps them in getting the required points on the points system. Generally, the candidates are unable to apply for Skilled Independent Visa but with the addition of five points in the state, the applicants can splint their case.
  • Under the 190 visa program, the candidates with the highest score are invited and they have to meet the eligibility requirements of both the state and Federal government.
