Episode Summary:

The new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) took effect on 7 Dec 2024 representing a significant policy shift and offering new immigration opportunities for both skilled workers and employers. The CSOL applies to Skills in Demand (SID) visa (subclass 482) core skills stream, which replaced the old TSS visa, and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) (Direct Entry stream). It brings about a significant change, especially for subclass 186 direct entry stream. The number of eligible occupations has now expanded from 216 to 456 across multiple industries opening new immigration pathways for various occupations.

In this episode Amitava discusses the practical impact of the new policy and who will benefit from it. He provides details about certain occupations that were removed from the other 3 occupation lists that have now been added to the CSOL. Migrants who find their occupation on the new CSOL and are eligible for the Direct Entry Stream pathway of subclass 186 are the ones who would gain the most from the recent changes (retail manager, child care worker, data analyst. cyber security engineer, dev ops engineer, cyber security architect, film editor, film director, copywriter, photographer, cafe manager, restaurant manager etc.)

There are certain prerequisites that migrants must meet to be eligible to apply for the 186 visa. Certain occupations have been removed and skilled migrants falling into that category have other pathways to continue to remain in Australia.

Have a listen if you would like to stay informed about them and get to know what your approach should be in 2025 to make a life in Australia.
