Make Up Artist in South Australia — nomination overview
Make Up Artist (ANZSCO 399514) 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 consistent demand for make-up artists in film and television production, theatrical performance, and special effects makeup across Adelaide. 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 Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian industry 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 before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect 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.
