Skilled & Business Migration South Australia has scheduled a free “Welcome to South Australia” orientation on 18 November 2025, with event registration opening on 22 October. The half-day program in Adelaide will feature recruiters, housing advisers and former migrants sharing practical tips on securing work and accommodation.
The initiative responds to record state-nomination approvals—up 22 % in 2024-25—and aims to improve retention rates outside Greater Adelaide. Attendees will receive information packs on banking, health care and driver-licensing, while local employers in health, defence and agribusiness will host networking tables.
For HR teams relocating staff to South Australia under Subclass 190 or Regional 491 visas, the event offers a no-cost onboarding channel that can supplement internal mobility programs. Places are limited, so companies should encourage employees to register promptly.
State officials say the program will be repeated quarterly and complemented by virtual briefings for regional arrivals. Feedback from the August pilot showed 93 % of participants felt “more confident” about settling, according to post-event surveys.
