Skilled Occupation list (SOL)

AUSTRALIA ANNOUNCES NEW SOL EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JULY 2011

The Immigration department has released the new Regulations and the new SOL (Skilled Occupation List) comprising 192 high value occupations.  Many occupations have been brought into the list.

The Skilled Occupation List (SOL) is effective from 1 July 2011, with 13 occupations added to the list and 4 occupations being removed.  The SOL determines which occupations are eligible for independent or unsponsored skilled migration. The updated SOL is based on expert advice from the independent body, Skills Australia.

The SOL identifies specialised occupations of high value and includes managerial, professional, associate-professional and trade occupations.  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.

The migration program is continually reviewed to make sure it is responsive to economic conditions and skills needs. In keeping with this objective, the SOL will continue to be reviewed by Skills Australia on an annual basis, ensuring that it meets the needs of the Australian Labour market.

Priority processing arrangements may however change for certain applicants according to the Ministerial Direction on priority processing.

Further transitional arrangements allow anyone who held a qualifying Student visa on 8 February 2010 to apply for a Temporary Skilled Graduate visa (Subclass 485) on the basis of the SOL in effect on 8 February 2010. These transitional arrangements are in place until 31 December 2012.

The new points test is designed to select the best and brilliant skilled migrants who will make the most favorable economic contribution to Australia. The focus to qualify for an applicant has been on the following:

· Better aimed age ranges to obtain maximum points under age
· To obtain good English levels score to gain maximum points to qualify
· More importance is given on the skilled employment
· Higher level qualifications obtained in Australia and overseas
