    After a long wait, the new occupations list that will govern the eligibility for Permanent Residency in Australia is here.

    The update comes with both good and not-so-good news, as we always expect this time of the year. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has announced the new list for 2016-2017 and the new list will come in effect on July 1st 2016.

    The Skilled Occupations List is used for 189 (Skilled Independent Visa), 489 (Skilled Regional Provisional Visa) and 485 (Graduate Temporary Visa) visa applications.

    The DIBP have also released the Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL) which is used for 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa), 457 (Temporary Work Skilled Visa) and 186 (Employer Nominated Scheme) visa applications.

    Here’s the SOL 2016-17  and check below the occupations that are being flagged for next year:

    Occupations being added to the SOL from 1 July 2016 are:

    • Orthotist or Prosthetist (ANZSCO 251912)

    The review of the SOL has not impacted the composition of the Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL).  Occupations currently listed on the CSOL will continue to be listed from 1 July 2016.  For more information on the CSOL please contact us so we can verify the status of your occupation under the 2016-2017 list.

    Flagged Occupations
