What is published about a skilled occupation, and by whom

Skilled Occupations — CSOL, visa lists, assessing authority, shortage rating, state nomination

An occupation record here is not one claim by StudyVisaHub. It is a stack of separate, dated statements published by different government bodies — the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Department of Home Affairs, Jobs and Skills Australia, the relevant assessing authority, and each state or territory government — each shown with its own issuer, date and source link. This page states what is published, by whom, and when. It does not say what any of it means for a person.

General information only — not migration advice.

The Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) lists the occupations an Australian employer can sponsor under the Skills in Demand visa. StudyVisaHub also holds three legacy occupation lists — the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), and the Regional Occupation List (ROL) — which the CSOL replaced from December 2024. Some occupations sit on both; some sit on only one. Both are shown here, clearly labelled.

State and territory nomination lists, assessing authority, and Jobs and Skills Australia's shortage assessment are separate published statements, shown against each occupation with their own source. Where StudyVisaHub does not hold a fact — an assessing authority, a shortage assessment, a state list — the page says so in those words. It never leaves the field blank and never guesses.

Source and provenance

Every fact on this page carries its own issuer and source link — the Australian Bureau of Statistics (occupation classification and the official ANZSCO–OSCA crosswalk), the Department of Home Affairs (CSOL and legacy list membership, visa subclasses), the relevant assessing authority, Jobs and Skills Australia (shortage assessment), and each state or territory government (nomination lists). Where a fact is not held, the page states that plainly rather than leaving it blank or inferring an answer.
