Business people and skilled professionals can migrate to Australia based on their skill sets, educational qualifications, and work experience. With the general skilled migration self-assessment test, an individual can evaluate his/her chances for Australian immigration.

Individuals will score high if they are under 50, have English language proficiency, and have adequate work experience in their nominated occupation, which must be included in the country’s SOL (Skilled Occupation List).

Skilled Occupation List (SOL) Australia 2024

The list of skilled occupations in Australia is in high demand. The main aim of the skilled occupations list in Australia is to invite skilled workers looking for short-term and long-term jobs in Australia. The list of SOLs, per the current labor market requirements, is updated regularly by the Australian Department of Immigration.

Candidates looking for Australia PR through state sponsorship must check the skilled occupations list before applying for an Australia PR Visa.

Australia has three types of skilled occupation lists

Medium and Long‑term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL): The Medium and Long‑term Strategic Skills list is for skilled professionals applying for a Skilled Independent Subclass 189 Visa. Subclass 189 Visa holders can live and work in Australia permanently.
Short‑term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL): The Short‑term Skilled Occupation List contains occupations that are highly in demand across various states and territories of Australia. This is valid for skilled professionals applying for a Skilled Nominated Subclass 190 Visa and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa Subclass 491.
Regional Occupation List (ROL): The Regional Occupation List is available for below visa categories:

Subclass 494
Subclass 491
Subclass 407
TSS (M)

*Disclaimer:

A quick eligibility check of Y-Axis is only to help the applicants understand their scores. The points displayed are based on your answers only. Please note the points on each section are evaluated based on various parameters set in the immigration guidelines, and a technical evaluation is a must to know your accurate scores and eligibility to find out which immigration program you can apply for. The Quick eligibility check does not guarantee you the below points; you may score high or low points once our expert team technically evaluates you. There are many assessing bodies that process skills assessment, which will depend on your nominated occupation, and these assessing bodies will have their own criteria in considering an applicant as skilled. State/ territory authorities will also have their own criteria to allow sponsorships, which an applicant should satisfy. So, it is very important for an applicant to go apply for a technical evaluation.
