Skilled Occupation list of Australia

What is the Skilled Migration Occupation List?

The list of vocations was most recently updated by the Australian Ministry of Home Affairs. The updated list pertains to the skilled immigration scheme.

The talents list of the Australian government comprises three categories:

• Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
•  The MLTSSL stands for Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skill List.
•   Region-specific Occupation List

The explanations for these lists are provided in more detail below.

There are around 215 jobs on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List. These professions are in demand throughout Australia’s territory. Previously known as the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List, this list (CSOL).

You can apply for the below visas under the STSOL program:

• Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190
• Skilled Regional Provisional Visa Subclass 489
• Direct Entry through Employer Nomination Scheme Subclass 186 Visa
•  Visa Subclass 457 for Temporary Workers
• Training Subclass 407 Visas

The list of professions that are now in demand in Australia is called the Skilled Occupation List (SOL). The SOL is used for skilled immigration to Australia and comprises professions including doctors, engineers, and teachers who are regarded as skilled.

The SOL is separated into three groups:

•  1. Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) - This list includes occupations that are in high demand and are considered to be of long-term strategic importance to the Australian economy. These occupations have no limit on the number of visas that can be issued each year.
•  2. Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) - This list includes occupations that are in demand in the short term and are not considered to be of long-term strategic importance to the Australian economy. There are limits on the number of visas that can be issued each year for these occupations.
•   3. Regional Occupation List (ROL) - This list includes occupations that are in demand in regional Australia and are not on the MLTSSL or STSOL. These occupations may have different visa requirements and conditions compared to other occupations on the SOL.

The Australian Government constantly updates and reviews the SOL. You must have a designated vocation that is on the SOL and satisfy other visa conditions, such as age, English language competency, and work experience, in order to be eligible for skilled migration to Australia.
