Core Skills Occupations List (CSOL) (Draft)

The Government will substitute the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa with a new Skills in Demand (SID) visa. This new visa will feature three pathways: Specialist Skills, Core Skills, and Essential Skills.

The Core Skills Occupations List (CSOL) will be one of the criteria for the SID visa, specifically focusing on the Core Skills Pathway. The CSOL will function similarly to the Skilled Migration Occupation Lists used for the TSS visa.

The draft CSOL aligns with the 2022 ANZSCO catalogue and is based on occupations from ANZSCO Skill Levels 1 to 3. The list is divided into three groups:

  • Occupations confidently recommended for the CSOL.
  • Occupations recommended for exclusion from the CSOL.
  • Occupations suggested for targeted feedback, where insights from labour market surveys, recruitment experiences, and opinions of workers and jobseekers are highly valued.
The following is a draft list, NOT currently in effect. It has been released for consultation purposes only. Read more
