Medical Oncologist — South Australia Nomination

Medical Oncologist in South Australia — nomination overview

Medical Oncologist (ANZSCO 253314) is listed 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 accepts offshore and onshore candidates and often prioritises those with a local job offer or South Australian study history. Skills assessment through the Medical Board of Australia (MedBA) and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) is required, evaluating overseas medical qualifications and clinical experience in oncological diagnosis, systemic anticancer therapy, and cancer management against Australian standards for specialist registration. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two 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 a Subclass 191 permanent visa application. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's points test score. Processing in South Australia typically takes a few weeks to two months, 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.
