Nutritionist — South Australia Nomination

Nutritionist in South Australia — nomination overview

Nutritionist (ANZSCO 251112) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) 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's food and agribusiness sector, SA Health public health programs, and community health organisations create demand for qualified nutritionists. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, which evaluates overseas qualifications and professional experience in nutrition and public health practice against Australian standards. Evidence of formal qualifications in nutrition science and relevant professional experience is required. English language proficiency and health and character requirements apply. 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 the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in South Australia typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
