What is the Skilled Migration Occupation List?

Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs Australia, updated the list of occupations. The new list is for the skilled migration program. The Australian government has three categories in the skills list:

STSOL: Short Term Skilled Occupation List
MLTSSL: Medium and Long Term Strategic Skill List
ROL: Regional Occupation List

These lists are explained below in a detailed fashion.

The Short-term Skilled Occupation List is a list of about 215 occupations. These occupations are in demand in various territories of Australia. This list was earlier known as the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL).

You can apply for the below visas under the STSOL program:

Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190
Skilled Regional Provisional Visa Subclass 489
Direct Entry through Employer Nomination Scheme Subclass 186 Visa
Visa Subclass 457 for Temporary Workers
Training Subclass 407 Visas

About 24 occupations listed in STSOL are eligible for the posts in:

Regional Australia
State Nomination Streams

The authorities use STSOL for the points system while evaluating immigration applications.

In the SOL, Engineers, IT professionals, healthcare professionals, and workers of the education sector have an evergreen demand.

The strategic skills list is for the skilled migration to Australia. Are you an applicant without any sponsorship? Visa Subclass 189 enables you to migrate to Australia based on your skills, even if you do not have any sponsorship from the employer or the state.
This program encourages the immigration of skilled professionals in various sectors.
This list was previously known as the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

This skills list is for visa subclass 407, 489, TSS, and so on. This list is all about regional migration programs. You can get in touch with the immigration experts to know more about these programs. There are separate rules for these programs.

You can opt for the combined list of occupations for general skilled migration.
You can select the occupation that suits your profile the most.

The selection of an apt occupation is the initial step for your Australian immigration as a skilled independent.

Other FAQs

What is the CSOL?

The Consolidated Skilled Occupation List was valid until April 19, 2017. This was known as CSOL. Later, the Short Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) replaced this list.

What is SOL?

The Skilled Occupation List was the list that has now been revised as the Medium and Long Term Strategic Skill List (MLTSSL).

What are the Occupation Lists and why do you need to know about it?

Here are the reasons:

The Occupation Lists of Australia are the lists of high demand occupations in the country.
The government authorities coordinate with the regional labour markets, find out the needs of the employers in the country, and then publish these lists.
The skilled workers need to have their occupation in these lists to be able to migrate to Australia under the skilled worker category.
Their education and experience should be relevant to the occupations in the lists.
In order to get considered, they can choose the occupation that is at least closer to their previous work profile. This improves the chances of migration to a better extent.
The Australian Authorities update the lists of skills from time to time.
Recently, they have come up with a new list and norms for immigration.
The regulations are going to be more stringent than before.
But still, there are more than 400 occupations on the list.
The country draws policies as per the needs of the skilled workers in industries and the availability of human resources.
These norms are governed with a clear goal of improving the Australian economy
