Medium and Long‑term Strategic Skills List

Short‑term Skilled Occupation List

Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) have released the new Skilled Occupations List (SOL) for 2017-18.

This list comes into effect from 1st July, 2017.

The Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) will be applicable for Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa), Subclass 489 (Skilled Regional Provisional Visa who are not nominated by a State or Territory government agency) and Subclass 485 (Graduate Temporary Visa) visa applications.

The Short‑term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) will be applicable for Subclass 190 (Skilled—Nominated visa) or Subclass 489 (Skilled—Regional (Provisional) visa.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in a press release stated, this ‘update will ensure the lists continue to reflect genuine skill needs in the labour market.’

As part of its reforms to skilled migration announced in April, the Government will update the lists on a six monthly basis to ensure the best outcomes for Australian workers and employers alike.

The updated lists are based on extensive consultation with industry and advice from the Department of Employment and the Department of Education and Training.

The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton said, "The occupation lists are designed to be dynamic. Revisions to the occupation lists are just one element of the Government's reforms strengthening the integrity of Australia's employer sponsored skilled migration programmes and raising the productivity of skilled migrants."

MANDATORY CRIMINAL CHECKS INTRODUCED
All visa applicants are now required to undergo mandatory criminal checks as part of their application.

MAXIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT LOWERED & ENGLISH TEST TIGHTENED
From 1 July 2017, all permanent skilled visas will have tightened English language and lower maximum age requirements.

rvrecabar · July 2017

@suepisces20 no worries. Godbless sa application.

suepisces20 · July 2017

hello po navisit ko na po yong mga link na binigay mo po , may ask po ako yong 5 yrs experience po enough po ba yon sa butcher to assess by TRA ? 3650 aus dollar po ang bayad?

rvrecabar · July 2017

Hi @suepisces20 I am not familiar with the Visa 489. Visa 190 mejo familiar ako. 3670AUD yung for visa lang. Wala pa yung sa assessment mo and state nomination fee kung sang state mo gusto. Not sure how much assessment fee for TRA. The state nomination fee depends on the state you want to apply. I suggest check each state immigration sites and look where in demand yung Occupation ng husband mo. I think Queensland (Brisbane) and South Australia (Adelaide) yung in demand butcher.

Hi @reah Just in the news: "the government’s changes from March 2018 make it harder for foreign students to stay on after their studies".

Pag-isipan mong mabuti. If you can go via PR visa, just go straight. Below is the link to the full article.

luckygirl · May 2018

@filsgoz hi any info if mabilis ang paglodge ng secondary school teacher? Anz code 241411 thanks. Wala kasi ako nkikita n reviews n nkakapasa na teacher

filsgoz · May 2018

Hi @luckygirl it should be quick if you've got positive assessment and complete documents. I know that there's a thread regarding filo teachers here at pinoyau. All the best.

luckygirl · May 2018

@filsgoz I will definitely read it. thanks!

filsgoz · June 2018

All the best @luckygirl . I'd say working in school with the DET (here in Victoria) is great (so far as my experience is concerned).

luckygirl · June 2018

@filsgoz what is DET? I read the thread about Filipino Teachers in Australia, but then most of the discussions are all about Early childhood education. I'm looking for an experienced secondary school teacher who teaches home economics. do you know someone who worked there? thanks.

filsgoz · June 2018

@luckygirl Department of Education and Training (DET) here in Victoria. You may find that each state has different teaching practice areas required. Here in Victoria you've got to have two teaching practice areas eg Science and Maths or Economics and Business. And then which specific levels (Middle, Junior, Senior).

I'd assume you haven't gone through assessment of qualification yet as teaching area would've been one of the questions.

luckygirl · June 2018

@filsgoz ah ok. thanks for the info. I checked the curriculum of Australia luckily my major found in their curriculum. I really need to pass the IELTS. thanks.
