The Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) has come up with a new 18 occupations list to meet urgent skills need in critical sectors where a small number of funded skilled workers return to Australia, helping to generate Australian employment and restore Australia’s economy.

Australia regularly updates its skilled occupation list. These are some occupations that can lead an individual to permanent residences.

The 18 occupations listing are intended to fill critical skills need to support Australians economic recovery from COVID-19. This means priority processing for visa candidates with these jobs.

The name of the occupation with ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code is listed below.

Visa holders sponsored by a PMSOL occupied Australian company may request an exemption from Australian travel restrictions but are going to be subject a strict 14-day quarantine at their own expense upon arrival.

Current lists of skilled migration occupations will remain active and visas will still be processed, but preference will be given to those within the profession on PMSOL.

The following employer-sponsored visa subclasses are subject to the priority processing of nomination and visa applications for PMSOL occupations :

• Temporary Skill shortage (TSS) visa/subclass 482
• Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa/subclass 494
• Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa/subclass 186
• Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) visa/subclass 187
