The Australian Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List

What is the Australian MLTSSL?

The term “MLTSSL” stands for Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List, which is a list of skilled occupations in Australia that are considered in demand and have long-term growth prospects. The MLTSSL is used as a reference for various Australian skilled migration visas, including the Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent), Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated), and Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)) visas.

The occupations listed on the MLTSSL are assessed based on the current labor market needs and the long-term economic priorities of Australia. These occupations are considered to be in high demand and are deemed to have skill shortages in the Australian labor market, which means that skilled workers in these occupations are needed to help address the gaps in the local workforce.

Applicants with an occupation listed on the MLTSSL may be eligible for certain benefits, such as priority processing of their visa applications, additional points in the points-based system used for skilled migration, and access to certain visa subclasses that are only available to occupations on the MLTSSL.

How long is the MTSSL valid for?

It’s important to note that the list of occupations on the MLTSSL can change over time, as it is subject to updates and revisions by the Australian government. It’s recommended to check the latest version of the MLTSSL on the Department of Home Affairs website or consult a qualified immigration consultant or a registered migration agent for accurate and current information.
