How many people can states and territories bring in under the state and territory skills shortage list?
The number of potential migrants which each state or territory can sponsor from their skills shortage list is unlimited, barring the total skilled migration program’s ceiling being reached. However, each state and territory is allocated a quota of 500 off-list nominations per program year from occupations included on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) but not on the state or territory’s skills shortage list. These off-list nominations are in addition to the nominations from their skills shortage list.
