DRAFT Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) Targeted for Consultation
The Migration Strategy notes the Government will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa with a new Skills in Demand (SID) visa, which will include a Specialist Skills Pathway, a Core Skills Pathway and an Essential Skills Pathway. The CSOL is one of the criteria for the SID visa and will target the Core Skills Pathway to Australiaโ€™s workforce needs. The CSOL will operate in a similar manner to the Skilled Migration Occupation Lists for the TSS482 visa.
