These occupations are filling critical skills needs to support Australia’s economic recovery from COVID-19, and as such will be given priority processing under employer sponsored nominations and visa applications. All other occupations remain active, but the PMSOl occupations will take priority. This is a temporary list and occupations may continue to change as Australia recovers from the pandemic.
This list is based on expert advice from the National Skills Commission and consultation with Commonwealth departments.
