New List of Skilled Occupations Intended to Replace the
Current Skilled Occupation List
It is intended that this list of occupations will form the new Skilled Occupation List, proposed
to come into effect from 1 July 2010. The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship will be
recommending that the Governor-General in Council make amendments to the Migration
Regulations 1994 to give effect to the framework in which this new list would be applied.
