Nurse Manager — South Australia Nomination

Nurse Manager in South Australia — nomination overview

Nurse Manager (ANZSCO 254311) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in South Australia under the South Australia Skilled Nominated 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. Nurse managers lead clinical teams across public and private networks, with nomination reflecting health system workforce planning. Skills assessment through the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) is required, evaluating qualifications and clinical experience against Australian nursing registration standards. Applicants must meet English language requirements and satisfy health and character checks. Two pathways exist: Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) grants permanent residence, while Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) is provisional and leads to Subclass 191 after three years of regional living and work. 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, 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.
