Skilled migrants in South Australia can now apply for Subclass 491

• speech pathologist

From July 20, 2021, offshore applicants are permitted to file their RoI (Registration of Interest) to get a nomination from the Australian state. The nomination will be for the Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional (Provincial)) visa.

Onshore applicants are allowed to apply for Subclass 190 and Subclass 491.
