Australia Skilled Occupation list:
Australia has three types of occupation list:
- Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL): This Medium and long-term strategic skill list is for skilled professionals applying for a Skilled Independent Subclass 189 visa (a non-sponsored skilled permanent visa). This Subclass visa 189 allows a candidate to permanently reside and work in Australia.
- Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL): This short-term occupation list has occupations highly in demand throughout states and territories of Australia. This list is liable for applicants applying for a Skilled Nomination Subclass visa and Skilled Work Regional visa Subclass visa 491.
- Regional Occupation List (ROL): The Regional Occupation List is a visa category for subclass 407 and Subclass 491, Subclass TSS (M), etc., which focuses on the regional migration program.
An SOL combines these three lists of occupations combined into one. Here are the job lists for 2024:
