The announcement of the New List of Skilled Occupations Intended To Replace The Current Skilled Occupation List announced on 17 May 2010 was accompanied by four explanatory documents on the DIAC website:
Fact sheet – The new Skilled Occupation List (SOL)
New List of Skilled Occupations Intended To Replace The Current Skilled Occupation List
Frequently Asked Questions – How will I be affected by the introduction of a new Skilled Occupations List
Fact sheet - Options for people who may not be eligible for independent migration.
Those documents are still there, but one of them now has additional information that has only been there for the last couple of days. There seems to have been no announcement of this additional information anywhere else.
That additional information is as follows:
How many points would each new occupation on the list attract?
It is intended that the points awarded under the GSM Points Test to the occupations on the new list would reflect the allocation of points to occupations on the current SOL. The review of the SOL did not include a review of the points allocated to each occupation.
