Review of the Core Skills Occupation List by Jobs and Skills Australia

Imminently, Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) will start consultations to review the occupations on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) for 2025.  The review of the CSOL is to ensure that the skilled occupations available for migration stay relevant to Australia’s workforce needs and labour market shortages.  The consultation process aims to provide opportunities for stakeholder feedback and information will be published on the Jobs and Skills Australia website in a bid for a transparent process.

JSA’s review will form the basis of advice to Government on possible changes to the makeup of the CSOL.

The CSOL applies to the Core Skills stream of the Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) and the Direct Entry stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186). It gives sponsoring employers the opportunity to fill genuine workforce shortages in eligible skilled occupations on a temporary or permanent basis.
