Published on : January 6, 2021
Key Highlights:
The Australian Department of Home Affairs has put occupation ceilings in place for the Year 2020-21.
Invitations issued under Australian Independent, Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visas will now have ‘occupation ceilings.’
The number of EOIs that can be invited for skilled migration from particular occupation groups will be limited. It is to ensure that skilled migration programs are not dominated by a few occupations.
There will be no further invitations for a particular occupation for the year when the limit is reached.
However, invitations can be allotted to migrants in other occupations even if they have lower scores.

*Occupations that are subject to pro-rata arrangements: For Accountants (2211), the occupational ceiling also reflects volumes in other skilled visa categories.
The table shows ‘occupation ceilings’ for the 2020 - 2021 program along with the four-digit ANZSCO codes.
The ceiling values are based on the percentage of stock employment figures. These figures are provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. They represent the number of people employed in each category.
These figures will not apply to visa subclasses of State or Territory Nominated ‘Employer Sponsored or Business Innovation and Investment’ visas.
Occupations ceilings indicate that the migration program for the year is driven by the need to fight the coronavirus pandemic and to empower economic growth.
