Floor Finisher — South Australia Nomination

Floor Finisher in South Australia — nomination overview

Floor Finisher (ANZSCO 332111) appears on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and is eligible for state nomination in South Australia under the South Australian Skilled Migration program. South Australia employs floor finishers across commercial buildings, retail fit-outs, and residential projects across Adelaide and regional South Australia. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once South Australia opens nominations for this occupation; SA applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and demonstrated occupational experience. Skills assessment is conducted by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), which evaluates overseas qualifications, training, and hands-on trade experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must all be satisfied. The only nomination pathway is the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment at or above the income threshold before the holder can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent residence visa. Subclass 190 nomination is not available for ROL-only occupations. A successful nomination adds fifteen points to the applicant's SkillSelect points score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages, with processing in South Australia typically taking a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
