If Your Occupation is Not Sponsored

If your occupation is not sponsored by the State/Territory, you may still obtain sponsorship in some jurisdictions, under certain circumstances. The Federal Government allows for a quota of visa for each State/Territory to nominated applicants with occupations not on the Skilled Occupation list. Keep in mind that meeting DIAC's visa criteria such as obtaining a positive skills assessment will not necessarily result in approval for State/Territory Sponsorship. You must meet the additional criteria for the State/Territory approved occupation. This may include financial capacity, more onerous English language requirements, or require you to have undertaken a period of study in that State/Territory. These are specific to each region and subject to change. Contact us if you require more information.
