South Australia’s Skilled and Business Migration (SBM) program continues under an interim allocations model for the 2025-26 program year, reflecting a continued wait for confirmed nomination quotas from the Commonwealth. The state invites eligible applicants to lodge Expressions of Interest (EOIs) via SkillSelect, with specific details pending per-stream allocations.
Current Status of Allocation
South Australia has not yet received its full allocation of nomination places for the 2025–26 year. Consequently, the interim process remains in force, allowing qualified applicants to submit EOIs that may later be considered for state nomination.
What Applicants Should Do Now
Submit or update your EOI through SkillSelect as soon as possible to ensure readiness when allocations are announced.
Ensure you satisfy state nomination eligibility, particularly in critical skill categories.
Be prepared for priority processing if you're based in regional South Australia, which continues to be favoured under the interim model.
