Priority Migration Skilled Occupations List Australia (PMSOL)

Sharing is caring :)

In efforts to support Australia’s economic recovery from the intense impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘The Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL)’ was created by the Australian Government, Department of Home Affairs as a guide for individuals who wishes to gain employment in the country. The list identifies occupations which fill critical skills needed by Australia. The list is based on the National Skills Commission and consultation with Commonwealth departments nationwide. 

Employer sponsored nomination and visa applications with an occupation on the PMSOL will be given priority processing. All other skilled occupation lists will remain active, but the PMSOL occupations will take priority.

Based on the ‘Priority Migration Skilled Occupations List (PMSOL)’ in Australia, we have listed down below the occupations along with their ANZSCO code for your reference, as of September 2021. 

Note: Do keep in mind that the list is subject to changes at the discretion of the Australian Government, Department of Home Affairs. The situation of COVID-19 will continuously be monitored with new sources of data as they evolve.
