Re: No 30 April Announcement of new SOL
Dear George,
I feel lucky reading your post. I today applied online for 175, I am in CSL. Perhaps I am the last applicant of April, 2010.
Thanks man.

Re: No 30 April Announcement of new SOL
Just an overall comment on the changes being announced today - if they're announced today.
Given the major changes to skills assessments over the past six months (TRA, Vetassess, ACS, CPAA and ICAA would cover 80% of visa applicants) and the abolition of the MODL, anyone who is interested in skilled migration to Australia should have been trying to beat the changes by lodging under the current SOL.
The important point is that anyone with a current application in the system will not be affected when the changes take effect.
For those who can't apply before the implementation of the changes in June/July, it's quite clear that there will be no new occupations included in the new SOL and that most of the generalist occupations will be removed. It's unlikely that major trade occupations will be removed.
Advance notice suggests that the SOL was to be reduced by about 50%, but of course that doesn't take into account the complex business of mapping across from the old ASCO dictionary of occupations to the new ANZSCO dictionary of occupations, and this mapping is something which DIAC will now either have to embrace across all of its systems, or ignore at its peril. Most of the Department's migration systems will need to be reconfigured for this change of coding. It's a bit like the Y2K bug - they don't yet know what's worse, the cure or the disease. In the process of mapping between the ASCO and ANZSCO there will be some anomalies, no doubt, and a period of grace for people with ASCO skills assessments wanting to apply in ANZSCO codes. This should all have been announced today - still might be, but having missed the obvious release times, and given that there has been absolutely no media coverage of these changes despite the considerable public and client interest, my guess is that it's happening much later, if at all.
Cheers,
George Lombard

I realise that some of the professions originally on the list may no longer be there, and the list may be shorter. But my profession, which was never on the list, is on the draft.

Without meaning to step on any toes, I've looked at the draft lift that was released on the Immi website and there are new professions on it.

Are you referring to the study released by skills australia, or did DIAC release a rough draft of the new SOL? Could you refer me to the one stated above?
Thanks
