Victoria is seeking to plug the skill gap by attracting skilled and employable graduates in selected occupations.
Victoria is seeking to attract highly skilled and employable graduates in selected occupations that are difficult to source from the local labor market.
The occupations are identified after an extensive research and industry consultation on the state’s labor market needs for state nomination.
This ensures that Victoria’s industries have the skills required to remain highly productive, and that international graduates who live and work in Victoria after completing their studies are well placed for employment in their nominated occupation.
Experienced skilled professionals and tradespeople should also refer to the State Nomination Occupation List for Victoria.
Assessment criteria
Applications for Victorian state nomination are assessed individually with a focus on these criteria:
- your ability to meet the minimum nomination requirements
- the suitability and transferability of your qualifications, skills and experience – including any specialist capabilities – to the needs of Victoria’s labour market
- the demand for your particular skills and expertise, and your ability to find work in Victoria
- the demand for your occupation in relation to the annual nomination places allocated for that industry.
- Do you have the skills required to migrate to Australia? Check out if the type of work you do is in demand in Victoria’s updated Occupation List.
