SS visa

Skilled Sponsored Visa (SS) 

This category is for people who highly skilled and have education, skills and employability which will contribute to the Australian economy, and are willing to settle in States and Territories where their skills are in demand.

To apply for this category you must:

• satisfy the basic requirements;
• nominate a skilled occupation from the Skilled Occupations List*;
• score at least 100 points; and
• be nominated by a participating State or Territory.

Participating States and Territories select nominees to meet a skill shortage in their area.

The State or Territory is not the employer. However, as a shortage of skills has been identified, it is anticipated a job may be found quickly.

Successful applicants have a number of obligations, including to:

• remain in the State or Territory for at least two years;
• keep authorities informed of changes in address; and
• take part in surveys as required.
