Summary of 18 March 2018 changes to the lists of eligible skilled occupations

Summary of changes to the Lists of eligible skilled occupations for Australia's skilled visa programs that will come in to effect on 18 March 2018 to coincide with the introduction of the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) and complementary reforms to permanent skilled visas.

The main change being implemented on this date is the introduction of an interim Regional Occupation List (ROL) that will be available for a number of skilled visa programs as indicated below, where the nominated position will be in a regional area. The Department of Jobs and Small Business conducted labour market analysis to inform this interim ROL. It will be reviewed as part of the regular update in mid-2018, and industry and the public will have an opportunity to provide feedback at this time.
