Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) will begin consultations to review the occupations on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) for 2025 shortly.
The review of the CSOL will ensure the skilled occupations available for migration stay relevant to Australia’s workforce needs and labor market shortages.
JSA will publish information on the consultation process on the Jobs and Skills Australia website shortly. This will include opportunities for stakeholder feedback.
JSA’s review will inform 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
