这 52 个被举旗的职业不一定马上就从下一年度的 SOL 清单里下架，只是被举旗的职业在澳洲劳动力市场已经不再那么紧缺，有可能分批被剔除。
另一方面，被移出 SOL 清单的职业依然在 CSOL 清单上，依然可以申请州担保，雇主担保及工作签证。并不是这类职业不能移民了。影响最大的是原打算按这类职业申请 189 独立技术移民或 489 偏远地区亲属担保移民的申请人。
These 52 jobs may be removed from the Skilled Occupations List
The Australian Government’s Department of Education and Training is currently reviewing the skilled migration program’s Skilled Occupation’s List, an annual process which involves flagging occupations for future removal.
Following the advice provided last year, 52 occupations were flagged for removal in future years (full list below).
“Generally, occupations are flagged when there is emerging evidence of excess supply in the labour market,” the department says.
The current list of 183 occupations is used to determine the eligibility for Australia’s permanent skilled migration scheme.
A separate, longer list – the Consolidated Skilled Occupation List – exists for temporary migrant workers under the 457 visa scheme.
The occupations flagged for removal range from ‘Accountant’ to ‘Chef’, ‘Barrister’ to ‘Cardiologist’.
The department takes a number of factors into account when determining the list, including demand, supply, time needed for training and education, and the risk to the economy if there’s a skills shortage.
“For each shortlisted occupation, analysis of labour market, education, immigration and economic data is undertaken to assess if the occupation would benefit from skilled migration,” the department says.
The department normally submits its advice to the Immigration Minister in March, with the final list to take effect on July 1 next year.
