The High Points category has been successful in attracting high quality applicants to South Australia.
From 1 February 2018, Immigration SA’s High Points category will increase to 85 points.
Applicants who can achieve 85 points or higher (including state nomination points) can gain access to the Supplementary Skilled List (SSL) and occupations on the State Nominated Occupation List which are listed as ‘Special Conditions Apply’. Applicants must meet all other South Australian state nomination requirements to qualify.
Quotas apply to nominations in the High Points category. Once this quota is reached, applications under this category may be closed for certain occupations
