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.
