Upcoming Changes to Australian migration in 2020
Get yourself prepared for the upcoming changes to Australian migration in 2020!
Recently, the Australian Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business has released its much anticipated Traffic Light Bulletin. The Department s key role is to perform regular reviews of Australian Skilled Migration Occupation Lists, including, Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), Regional Occupation List (ROL) and the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). All the occupations mentioned in the lists are used for skilled migration, so that Australia can meet its short, medium and long term labor and economic development needs.
The purpose of this Traffic Light Bulletin is to flag all those occupations which are more likely to be removed, added or replaced from the current occupations lists and will be finalized for the updated skilled occupation lists that are slated to be introduced in March 2020.

- Red Occupations: Flagged to be removed from the list
- Orange Occupations: Flagged to be moved between lists
