February 22, 2023 | NSW State Updates
The NSW Skilled Migration Program will open shortly for the 2022-23 financial year. NSW has implemented some key changes to the program this financial year. These changes are summarised below:
NSW Skills Lists
NSW invites and nominates SkillSelect EOIs at the ANZSCO unit group level. To be eligible for NSW nomination you must be skilled in an occupation that BOTH:
appears within an ANZSCO unit group identified below, AND

It is important to note that not all occupations within ANZSCO unit groups are eligible for the respective visa.
Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)
NSW nomination for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) remains by invitation only.
As with previous years, because demand for NSW nomination greatly exceeds the number of available places, we strongly recommend you explore all other migration pathways and do not wait to be invited by NSW.
