Meteorologist in South Australia — nomination overview

Meteorologist (ANZSCO 234913) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in South Australia under the South Australian Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once South Australia opens invitations for this occupation. South Australia may require applicants to demonstrate genuine commitment to living and working in the state. Skills assessment for Meteorologists is typically conducted by VETASSESS or a relevant scientific professional body, evaluating qualifications and experience in atmospheric science, weather forecasting, or climatology against Australian occupational standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before transitioning to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in South Australia typically takes four to ten weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
