With the introduction of the Skills in Demand (SID)(subclass 482) visa replacing the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa, the Department of Home Affairs released a new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) at the end of last year to address specific shortages in the Australian labour market.
The SID visa introduced a three-tier system:
- The Specialist Skills Pathway;
- Core Skills Pathway; and
- Essential Skills Pathway.
For more information regarding the separate pathway requirements please see our article https://www.hartmanimmigration.com.au/2024/11/19/skills-demand-visa-information/
The newly introduced CSOL will relate to the Core Skills Pathway of the temporary SID work visa. In addition, it will also apply to the Direct Entry stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) permanent visa. Applicants applying for a SID Core Skills Pathway or Direct Entry (subclass 186) visa will need to select and meet the definition of an occupation appearing on the CSOL.
The current CSOL includes 456 occupations which were identified by Australian government organisation, Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA), following stakeholder consultation and labour market analysis. It is intended to better address gaps in the Australian labour market, enabling employers to meet labour demands across a range of industries.
The CSOL will be updated from time to time by the Australian Department of Home Affairs in consultation with the JSA.
Currently, the CSOL contains the following occupations:
