NSW Target Sectors

To more effectively respond to changing skills shortages across the state, NSW is transitioning from the publication of an eligible ANZSCO skilled list to adopting a sector-focused approach.

The sectors identified as experiencing critical skills shortages in NSW include:

• Health
• Education
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• Infrastructure
• Agriculture

Important: Although NSW prioritizes target sectors, high-ranking EOIs submitted in non-priority sectors may also be considered. However, it's important to understand that the chances of receiving an invitation are exceptionally low due to high demand and limited spots.
