Australia has declared changes to the skilled occupation records for the migration intake program for the year 2018. The progressions produce results on Wednesday, 17th January 2018.

Every year hundreds of thousands of foreign workers choose to live and work in Australia because of the lifestyle and employment opportunities offered.

The Skilled Occupation List (SOL) is a list of skilled occupations that deliver high-value skills needed by the Australian economy.

SOL aims to meet medium- to long-term skills needs of high-value occupations, rather than immediate short-term shortages.

The suitability of occupations for inclusion on the SOL is assessed on time to time basis.

Department of Home Affairs today announced a change.
