IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The Department of Employment has opened a public consultation requesting feedback from employers and other immigration stakeholders on possible changes to the skilled migration occupation lists.
What does the change mean? The Department has published a traffic light bulletin indicating the occupations under consideration for change, as well as those flagged for no change. The public comment period closes 1 December 2017, and comments will be taken into consideration before the changes are finalised.
Background: The proposed changes include removing four occupations from the STSOL and adding five occupations to the STSOL. The four occupations considered for possible removal are: Accommodation and Hospitality Manager, Hair or Beauty Salon Manager, Recruitment Consultant, and Building Associate. The five occupations considered for addition to the list are: University Tutor, Psychotherapist, Property Manager, Real Estate Agent, and Real Estate Representative.
BAL Analysis: BAL encourages employers to review the traffic light bulletin and submit comments to make their concerns known to the Department and to help shape the occupation lists that determine eligibility for skilled workers. BAL can assist in the process.
