DRAFT Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) Confident ON List
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 will operate in a similar manner to the Skilled Migration Occupation Lists for the TSS482 visa.
