Skilled Occupations List for 2015/2016 released

For many hopeful visa applicants, the start of the new financial year (July 1) marks the moment someone's life can change forever.

The 2015/2016 occupations list has been released.

The following occupations have been added to the SOL:

• Panelbeater 324111
• Cabinetmaker 394111

The following occupations have been removed from the SOL:

• Urban and Regional Planner 232611
• Dental Specialist 252311
• Dentist 252312

Cabinetmakers are an occupation that has been added to the SOL for the 2015/2016 programme year.

While these occupations have been removed from the Skilled Occupations, they may still be eligible for state or employer sponsored options as the occupations remain on the CSOL.

Accounting occupations remain on the Skilled Occupations List, much to the relief of many international students.
