The Australian Government has released the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) to target the skills Australia needs.
The new CSOL fulfils the Government’s commitment to replace complex, out of date and inflexible occupation lists in temporary skilled visa program.
The CSOL is a single consolidated list, informed by labour market analysis and stakeholder consultations by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) that provides access to temporary skilled migration for 456 occupations.
The CSOL will apply to the Core Skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa, which will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa on 7 December 2024. The CSOL will also apply to the Direct Entry stream of the permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa.
