This is really helpful. I am currently on a 457 visa and my job role is Public Relations. My visa was issued in March 2016 so will reach the 2 year point in March 2018 when we were planning on ENS TRT 186. Does this reply mean I will still have 'grandfathering' rights to apply for ENS TRT 186 even though my job role doesn't appear on the new list. Am I better apply for Direct Entry 186 ENS now? Thanks for your response! I have contacted immigration and got a call back just now - they have confirmed your thoughts. She put me on hold and spoke to her manager and confirmed that the changes only refer to those wishing to enter via the direct entry scheme and not through transition to 186 - thank goodness for that, it was a sleepless night!
