New Occupations – Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

If you’re applying for a subclass 485 Temporary Graduate – Graduate Work Stream visa or an Independent or Family Sponsored Points Tested visa (for example, Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) or Skilled Regional (Provisional) (subclass 489) visa) you’ll need to have an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

Updates to the Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

On 1 July 2014, the updated SOL will be released. Among others, it is expected that the occupations of Chef, Wall and Floor Tiler and Bricklayer will be added. It has also been announced that no occupations already on the SOL will be removed.

Watch this space for an update on the SOL in early July!
