The Skills in Demand (SID) visa is gearing up to replace the subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage visa by the year's end. One pivotal aspect of its Core Skills Pathway lies in the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), which is currently open for feedback. Additionally, the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is being updated to reflect contemporary demands.
Three distinct pathways of SID
The SID visa introduces three distinct pathways:
Among these, the Core Skills Pathway stands out as the only one with an occupation list subject to regular updates, catering to a wide array of industries needing supplemental workforce. Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA), a governmental body, oversees labour market analysis and stakeholder engagement, crucial for informing the CSOL's composition. Ultimately, the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, and Multicultural Affairs makes the final decision.
Stakeholder engagement has commenced with a drafted CSOL, considering various factors such as the Skills Priority List, which gauges occupation shortages in the Australian labour market. JSA classifies occupations into three lists:
JSA welcomes feedback on off-list occupations as well, with submissions accepted until May 31, 2024. Occupations not making the CSOL may still find placement in other visa categories, such as the subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa. Equally significant is the dictionary of occupations employed in this process.
