What is the Consolidated Skilled Occupation List (CSOL)?

The Consolidated Skilled Occupation List acts to specify skilled occupations eligible for a working visa in Australia. Occupations listed under Schedule 1 are eligible for independent points based skilled migration visas and family sponsored visas. Schedule 2 occupations are eligible for points based skilled migration nominations by state or territory governments, the Employer Nomination Scheme, a 457 working visa, a 442 occupational trainee or a 402 training and research visa.

The assessing authorities relevant to the listed occupations can also be read from CSOL. Assessing bodies are independent experts who certify that the applicant’s educational qualifications and, in some cases, skilled work experience in their nominated occupation, are comparable and sufficient to perform the listed and nominated occupation.

Occupations on the Skilled Occupation List have been identified by the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency as occupations suffering skill shortages in Australia. The list is reviewed and updated on an annual basis.

There are currently 649 occupations on CSOL. Examples of occupations currently listed on the Consolidated Skilled Occupation Lists are:
