Nurseryperson in South Australia — nomination overview
Nurseryperson (ANZSCO 362411) appears on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL), supporting regional nomination and employer-sponsored pathways in South Australia. South Australia has demand for nurserypersons in nurseries, garden centres, revegetation projects, and horticultural businesses 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. The state nomination pathway available is the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, which requires three years of regional residence and employment before the holder may apply for the Subclass 191 permanent residence visa; Subclass 190 nomination is not available for ROL-only occupations. CSOL listing also enables the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme and Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa through an approved employer sponsor. A Subclass 491 nomination adds fifteen points 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.
