Victoria
Overview
Victoria’s skilled migration program seeks to attract highly skilled and employable professionals and tradespeople with occupations that are difficult to source from the local labour market. Priority industries for Victorian state sponsorship are currently: Engineering and Building, Financial Services, Biotechnology and Science, Tourism and Hospitality, Information and Communications Technology, Health, Education and Trades. Extensive research and industry consultation on Victoria’s current and forthcoming labour market needs is undertaken to identify occupations suitable for state sponsorship. This ensures that Victoria’s industries have the skills required to remain highly productive, and that skilled migrants who come to Victoria are well placed for employment in their nominated occupation. If you are an international student or recent graduate, refer to the State Sponsorship Occupation List for Graduates in Victoria. If you are applying for Victorian sponsorship under a regional sponsored visa you must have a valid job offer in your nominated occupation and evidence that you’ve accepted the job.
