The South Australian state nominated occupation lists are divided into two separate lists; the State Occupation List and the Supplementary Skilled List.

The Supplementary Skilled List replaces the former South Australian Graduate List. This list offers all the remaining occupations on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL) that are not on the South Australian State Occupation List. There are 480 occupations on the Supplementary Skilled List.
