The Australian Government announced the release of the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL). The new CSOL fulfills the Government’s commitment to replace complex, out-of-date, and inflexible occupation lists in our temporary skilled visa program. The CSOL is a single consolidated list, informed by labor market analysis and stakeholder consultations by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) that provides access to temporary skilled migration for 456 occupations.
What is the Core Skills Occupation List?

This list is pivotal in helping foreign workers navigate the complex landscape of professional immigration and employment opportunities in Australia.
Purpose of the CSOL
The primary objectives of the CSOL include:
- 1. Identifying skill gaps in the Australian workforce
