Regulations written in Code of Conduct 

Australia created immigration categories and programs which had a major influence on Australian life, not least in its population growth.  In 1945 the country(s) population stood at just over seven million, with 90 per cent born in Australia. Since then, over six million people have come from over 200 countries to settle in Australia.

Australia continues to welcome new settlers and their families and provides a wide range of services to help them become established, including interpreter services, counselling and English-language classes. The great majority of newcomers settle in rapidly and successfully.

Languages of important regional trading partners, such as Japanese and Indonesian are being taught in many schools alongside traditional European languages.

Business migrants benefit from Australia deregulated economy, and the nation(s) plentiful natural resources and strong tourism, education, agriculture and technology sectors.Australian tax system funds good infrastructure, education and health services, and is competitive with any other Western economy.

The Australian lifestyle is the envy of the world and this vast and beautiful country offers excellent rewards to those willing to set goals and put in the effort to achieve them.

Some of our larger cities are receiving benefits from migration, while other parts of the country including smaller capital cities and regional centres are missing out and are enthusiastic to embrace higher levels of skilled migrants. Regional migration plays a pivotal role in contributing to the economic, demographic and social development of Australia, as well as providing migrants with unique lifestyle opportunities.


From 1 September 2007, changes have been implemented to the General Skilled Migration Program. Immigration SA is pleased to continue to participate in various visa programs to assist suitably qualified skilled migrants who wish to settle in our State, to obtain their visa from the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Citizenship via the provision of Sponsorships.
