Northern Territory State Skilled Occupation List 2010

The Northern Territory revealed their State Migration Plan for 2010  following the announcements made by both Victoria and ACT earlier this month. 

State Migration Plans have been developed by State/Territory governments to determine the occupations in which applicants will be eligible for state sponsored visas which is intended to improve the targeting of skills that are relevant and in demand in the region. Migrants who qualify under the plan can be sponsored for an Australian Visa by the Northern Territory.

There are a limited number of visa places available for sponsorship, and therefore some occupations are likely to be oversubscribed.  However, applicants who appear on the NT new list of occupations will be moved to Priority Group 2, according to the current processing directive. This means that these applicants should see their applications finalised within 12 months.

Applications for sponsorship with the NT will be accepted immediately, except for occupations where the NT has indicated it will not be taking nominations at the present time.
