Paediatrician in South Australia — nomination overview

Paediatrician (ANZSCO 253321) 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 considers occupation demand, local graduate supply, and applicant suitability to the state economy. Skills assessment through the Medical Board of Australia (MedBA) is required, with overseas specialist physician qualifications assessed by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) for Fellowship recognition and AHPRA registration. Applicants must demonstrate competent English and satisfy health and character requirements. Nomination is available under the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, which confers permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional pathway requiring three years of regional residence and work before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points to the points score 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.
