The plan includes a cap on the number of skilled migrants that can be sponsored by Industry & Investment NSW each year from the agreed NSW State Sponsorship Eligibility Lists. This limit is set by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).
The NSW State Migration Plan includes 138 occupations. There are 18 occupations included on the NSW State Migration Plan that are not on DIAC's new Skilled Occupation List (Schedule 3).
Eight of these occupations are now open for new sponsorships by NSW under the Skilled Regional Sponsored or Skilled Sponsored visa programs.
There are six new occupations now open for sponsorship for the Skilled Regional Sponsored 475/487 visa. They are:
* Chef
* Baker
* Fitter (General)
* Metal Machinist (1st Class)
* Toolmaker
* Cabinet Maker
For details on NSW regions sponsoring these occupations go to the skilled regional migration page.
There are two new occupations now open for sponsorship for the Skilled Sponsored 176/886 visa. They are:
* Insurance Broker
* Solicitor
NSW has also added the occupation of Ships Engineer from DIAC's new Skilled Occupation List to the list of occupations sponsored for the Skilled Sponsored 176/886 visa. For details on NSW requirements for sponsorship in these occupations go to the skilled sponsored migration page of the Industry & Investment NSW web site.
There are ten occupations included in the NSW State Migration Plan that are not on the new Skilled Occupation List that are temporarily closed to new sponsorships. This is because there are already sufficient applications to be processed by DIAC in the next few months. Existing applications 'on hand' in DIAC sponsored by NSW in these occupations will receive Level 2 priority processing:
* Financial Investment Adviser
* Life Scientist
* Biochemist
* Pastrycook
* Production Manager (Manufacturing)
* Vocational Education Teacher
* Corporate General Manager
* Medical Administrator
* Pharmacist Hospital
* Pharmacist Retail
The remaining 120 occupations that are on the NSW State Migration and that are on DIAC's new Skilled Occupation List are listed on the skilled sponsored and skilled regional sponsored pages of this web site. Existing applications 'on hand' in DIAC sponsored by NSW in these occupations will also receive Level 2 priority processing.
The occupations sponsored by NSW may be subject to change during the year depending on application rates and changes in the employment market.
A new State Migration Plan is expected to apply from 1 July 2011
