"This is in addition to the many existing opportunities for successful students to remain in Australia on an employer sponsored permanent or temporary basis."
The move to let overseas students apply without leaving Australia was outlined in the Federal Government's "Backing Australia's Ability" plan, announced by the Prime Minister on 29 January.
Mr Olsen applauded the Federal Government's decision to process skilled migrant's applications in Adelaide.
"This is a great development for South Australia and is a recognition of the State Government's focus on attracting skilled migrants. The Federal Government's plans will contribute greatly to this," Mr Olsen said.
"The decision to locate the processing centre in Adelaide recognises the highly skilled workforce that is available here as well as our very competitive cost structures."
Mr Ruddock said the new processing centre, which will be fully operational by November, would process about 30,000 migrant applications a year.
"This work is currently being done in overseas posts. The Adelaide processing centre will bring jobs back to Australia," Mr Ruddock said.
"Just one of the tasks to be carried out in Adelaide will be the processing of the top overseas students allowed to apply to migrate from within Australia at the completion of their studies.
"This is a move away from the current system, where all overseas students without an Australian employer to sponsor them must apply offshore and be out of the country to receive their visa.
"Both of these changes will ensure that Australia can build on its competitive skilled migration system and retain its leading position in the crucial global ICT skills marketplace."

附录2：http://www.dima.gov.au/facts/56study.htmWork rights
Students and their dependants applying for student visas for the first time are not automatically granted permission to work in Australia.
Students and their dependants can only apply for a visa with work rights after they arrive in Australia and the student has began his or her course of study.
Applicants must produce evidence that the student has started studying, and pay a $50 charge. Work rights will be transferred to any further student visa granted provided the application is made in Australia.
Students who were granted student visas with work rights before 1 December 1998 will retain their existing work rights.
An application made overseas for a student visa cannot have work rights attached. Students granted a student visa with work rights on or after 01 November 2000 are limited to 20 hours work per week while their course is in session; they may work full-time during holiday periods.
Work rights for dependants of students vary between no restrictions for dependants of Doctorate and Masters students and 20 hours per week for others. Dependants of students from non-gazetted countries who are undertaking courses of less than 12 months duration are not permitted to work.
Work rights are intended only to supplement a student's income rather than be the sole source of funds. Students found to be working in excess of their limited work rights are subject to mandatory visa cancellation.
