What are Australia's skilled migration occupations lists?
Australia's skilled visa programs is based on the following skilled occupation lists:
- Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
- Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)
- Regional Occupation List (ROL)
They are subject to a regular review to reflect the current labour demand and address genuine skill shortages in Australia.
The Priority Migration Skilled Occupations List was also introduced in 2020 to aid with Australia's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
