Annual Update of Skilled Occupation List - 1 July 2012


Annual Update of Skilled Occupation List  -

1 July 2012



The Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

The Skilled Occupation List (SOL) will change from 1 July 2012, with four occupations

to be added to the list and four occupations to be removed. The SOL determines

which occupations are eligible for independent and family sponsored skilled migration.



The updated SOL is based on expert advice from the independent body, Skills

Australia. The list of occupations reflects the Australian Government’s commitment to

a skilled migration program that delivers skills in need in Australia. The SOL will

continue to deliver a skilled migration program tightly focused on high value skills that

will assist in addressing Australia’s future skills needs.



Visa applications that will be affected by the updated SOL

The updated SOL will apply to all new independent (unsponsored) and family

sponsored skilled migration applications lodged on or after 1 July 2012 unless they are

                                                                 

from applicants eligible for transitional arrangements.  Applications lodged before 1

July 2012 with a nominated occupation that is no longer on the SOL in effect from 1

July 2012 will continue to be processed. Priority processing arrangements may

however change for certain applicants according to the Ministerial Direction on priority

processing.
