Migrants to Australia who want to apply for the rejigged Skills in Demand (SID) visa (subclass 482) will soon need to consult the brand new Core Skills Occupation list (CSOL) to see if they can apply for the popular Permanent Residency pathway.
The CSOL will replace previous occupations lists used to assess eligibility for the subclass 482 visa’s previous iteration, the Temporary Skills Shortage visa.
The 456 occupations on the list include Corporate General Manager, Sales and Marketing Manager, ICT manager, Accountant, Data Analyst, Content Creator, Aeroplane Pilot and a range of specialist engineering professions.
It was created by Jobs and Skills Australia, a part of the Department of Education, Skills and Employment, after an analysis of the labour market with the aim of attracting skilled migrants to Australia to help alleviate the ongoing skills shortage.
The new list will be implemented on December 7 and will affect how migrants can apply for two visas, the Core Skills stream of the SID 482 visa and the Direct Entry stream of the permanent Employer Nominations scheme (subclass 186) visa.
The Government of Australia also said they will announce additional reforms on the same day the CSOL is rolled out, including more details on the SID and another revamped visa, the National Innovation visa (subclass 858).
It was not immediately clear which visas these reforms would affect.
