Services

The State of South Australia welcomes all migrants and would like to encourage more people to make our State their home and enjoy the enriching lifestyle we have to offer.

Immigration SA has developed a unique program called On Arrival Services to help skilled independent migrants settle in our State. Further information on this service can be found below.

Please note that if you choose to settle in any other State other than South Australia we are unable to provide these services to you.
