As many of you will be aware, the overall points system and framework for Australia will be changed on July 1st. Exactly how it will be changed, we do not know.
However, there will still be a role for State sponsored migration.
This will be through State Migration Plans (SMP). Each state will be able to submit a SMP to the Federal government for approval. This will then detail the occupations in that state that are in shortage, and that the state can select for migration.
Broadly speaking, the system should be similiar to the current state sponsored category of subclass 176. However, until the new system is launched many states are not accepting new applications for state sponsorship.
The recent unveiling of the new Skilled Occupation List with fewer ocupations, means that state sponsorship through SMPs will be an important route forward for many hopeful applicants.
