Skilled occupation lists
Tracking Australia's skilled occupation lists and what a change to them means for students, workers and the providers training them.
Current occupation lists, and which visa programmes each one drives.
Additions and removals, and the date a change takes effect.
The consequence for students mid course, for workers, and for providers who built scope around an occupation.
Occupation lists are published by government and change without notice. Nothing here is migration advice; confirm the current list with the department and take advice from a registered migration agent.
We publish these because most of the value in hiring anyone is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.
Occupation lists change. A student enrolling in a multi year qualification on the strength of a current listing carries a real risk that should be disclosed at enrolment.
Advertising a course as a migration pathway is both a compliance problem and, given how often the lists change, frequently untrue.
Including when the answer is that you do not need what you came to ask for. Anyone who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.
Where something needs a legal opinion, a financial audit or a clinical judgement, we will say so and stop rather than improvise past the edge of what we do.
Tell us the situation rather than the service you think you need. We would rather start from your problem.
