Pastrycook in South Australia — nomination overview
Pastrycook (ANZSCO 351112) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in South Australia under the South Australia Skilled Nominated program. South Australia has strong demand for pastrycooks in bakeries, cafes, hotels, and hospitality venues across Adelaide and regional SA. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once South Australia opens nominations; South Australia often prioritises applicants with a local job offer or prior study or work history in the state. Skills assessment is conducted by TRA, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. STSOL listing supports the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent on grant) and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the holder may apply for the Subclass 191 permanent residence visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect points test score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages; processing in South Australia typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
