NEW Skilled occupation list is on the way!

It’s only a week or so until we see the NEW Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Its release will certainly come as a relief to many. However the news may not be great for others. Skills Australia, which is the organisation that has been given the responsibility of forming the new SOL and presenting it to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) for approval in a recent report listed the  'SKILLS WE NEED'. We expect most of these to be included in the new SOL.  However please note that this is NOT the final SOL, and THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY OF THESE OCCUPATIONS WILL APPEAR ON THE NEW SKILLED OCCUPATION LIST WHEN IT IS FORMALLY ANNOUNCED LATER IN APRIL 2010.
