The state and territory nominated independent
visa (STNI)
The STNI visa program enables States and Territories to sponsor
skilled migrants who are willing to settle in areas where their
skills are in demand.
State and Territory Governments participating in the (STNI) program (eg:
Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria and Australian Capital Territory)
establish which skills are in short supply and where skill shortages
are occurring.
Based on this information, States and Territories aim to select
applicants who have a sound chance of gaining employment in that
State or Territory within a short time of their arrival.

Sponsored Migration Scheme(RSMS)
regional sponsored migration scheme
The regional sponsored migration scheme
(RSMS) enables employers in regional or low population growth areas
of Australia to nominate skilled migrants for migration when they
cannot fill skilled vacancies through recruitment and training from
within the local labour market.
Any employer can participate in the scheme as long as they are operating
their business in a regional or low population growth area in Australia
covered by RSMS. (eg: Tasmania)
This scheme may be an option for you if:
- You are interested in settling in regional Australia
- You have received a job offer from an employer in regional Australia
(eg: Tasmania, South Australia) to fill a skilled job vacancy
- You have not yet applied to migrate but think that you can meet
the
requirements for the RSMS.
