State sponsorship
Guys,
Could you please tell me from where I can find the skill shortage list for the different states in Australia?
Also what's the procedure to apply for it? do I need to secure a job before I could apply for it?
Thanks

Re: State sponsorship
Depending on what state you want to go to you will look at the state's website for the immigration link. No, you don't need to have a job offer to apply for state sponsorship.

Re: State sponsorship
Hello Safa,
This is a great help. Just want to check something, is there any processing fees for applying for the state sponsorship? If yes, how much?
And also can I apply for the state sponsorship while waiting for the result from the ACS?
Please guide further..

Re: State sponsorship
Correct me if I'm wrong, for ACT there is a fee of around 250 AUS$. For others probably not.

Re: State sponsorship
Those files were downloaded in September/October 2008. There may be some changes afterwords! SA already changed the list and Victoria is going to change in 12th January.

Re: State sponsorship
How does one get a State Nomination?
Is it that we have to apply for the same?
OR
State itself contacts you by fetching your details from the Skill Matching Database?
Pls advises.

Re: State sponsorship
You have to apply to the State directly for nomination. Please follow this link for details... http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...state-terr.htm.
If you don't mind can I ask which occupation did you get nomination for and from which state?
Also what is the process of contacting the state for nomination?
Is it online or through paper?
What all docs one need to attach with the application?
Also the link mentioned by you is not opening.
Regards
