ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations)
Guest posted a topic in Visa Chat
DIAC introduces ANZSCO on 1 July 2010: ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) -
f This is as long as expected but with scope, it would seem, for future expansion below ANZSCO Group Level 3, suggesting that the Labour Agreement pathway hasn't been as successful as hoped, since there are Group Level 4, 5 and 6 occupations at the end. See http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/legislation/LegislativeInstrument1.nsf/0/975751D41E27FC88CA25774A0013EC8A/$file/10032LI.pd Cheers, George Lombard

ASCO-ANZSCO mapping for IT and other occupations .. an idea may be ??
Guest posted a topic in Visa Chat
All, My first post in PIO but I'm a silent follower of every post for quite some time. Please view this link http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/Legislation/LegislativeInstrument1.nsf/0/EAC98C683DDD004BCA25774A0017BD72/$file/10025LI.pdf This applies to people who applied before 8 February, 2010 and who's application hasn't been finalized yet. But that's ok, not pointing out that. As a IT guy ( with +ve 2231-79 Unix ) I was ( I know lots of like me are out there too ) interested to know how 2231-79 is mapped to ANZSCO. May be ( I'm not too sure and hence seeking experts advise ) this document gives an idea ???? Seems like for people who applied before 8th Feb ASCO 2231-79 is mapped to ANZSCO 261399. I wonder whether this mapping would be the final one. If so, all 2231-79 will be on Schedule 4. Comments ??? thanks tarini -
Vetassess Announcement of Continuation of Old SOL Occupations
George Lombard posted a topic in Visa Chat
Vetassess has just sent out this important announcement, which, if literally true, suggests that the new SOL is not going to bite immediately and that the DIAC transitional legislation will be humane: RE: Applications for skills assessment received before 1 July 2010 This advice applies to skills assessments received before 1 July 2010 when the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and the new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) will be introduced by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. It is expected that skills assessments for nominated occupations in the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) will continue to be accepted for migration purposes from 1 July 2010 if the application for the skills assessment was received before 1 July 2010. This is the case even if the skills assessment was finalised after 30 June 2010 and the nominated occupation is not on the new SOL. This is all the information available on this announcement and Monday is a holiday here, but I'm sure that clarification will be made on Tuesday. In particular, does this announcement apply only to Vetassess assessed occupations or all occupations? Cheers, George Lombard -
[9 Mar 09] WA no longer accepting/processing SS for Off-list occupations!
Guest posted a topic in Visa Chat
Latest news regarding WA SS! "From 9 of March 2010, The State Migration Centre will no longer be able to accept or process sponsorship applications for off-list occupations for the Skilled Sponsored Visa. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) allocated 500 off-list places to Western Australia for the 2009/2010 Project Year and this quota has now been met. A quota of off-list places for the 2010/2011 project year is yet to be confirmed." State Migration Centre » Skilled Migration -
Although already posted in another thread, but maybe it is useful when it has an own thread.

All the occupations or occupation groups are there which the new SOL will include.

re: 457 visa - need help understanding the Skilled Occupations List
Guest posted a topic in Visa Chat
Hello everyone, I'm desperately searching for understanding/clarification!!! Please help! On the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) form 1121i there is no listing of a Restaurant and Catering Manager. However, I have found the following links that indicate that a Restaurant and Catering Manager IS included in the Skilled Migrants list for the 457 sponsored visa. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/457occupations.pdf http://www.immi.gov.au/media/publications/pdf/appendices_m_o.pdf http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/employer/eligible457visaoccupations.htm The following link however states "This occupation is not on the Skilled Occupations List" Restaurant and Catering Manager - ASCO 3321-11 I think I need clarification on what a "gazetted subclass 457 occupations" list is. What is a gazetted list vs. the list found on immigration form 1121i?? Can I, as a restaurant and catering manager (in Ireland) be sponsored under the subclass 457 visa (assuming I have a job offer) under that catergory? ASCO code 3321-11 Restaurant and Catering Manager Or is this category for a different type of sponsorship altogether? I would greatly appreciate any assistance/guidance Thanks so much, Janey -
Below are links to new Comlaw information on: 1 Which occupations will require a new skills assessment after 1 January 2010, and 2 Which offshore applicants will need to have worked for 12 of the 24 months before the date of the application in the actual nominated occupation. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLa...020AF17?OpenDocument http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLa...09143+-+LI+-+JRT.doc http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLa...143+-+ES+-+Final.doc No need for offshore applicants to obtain a new skills assessment as far as I can see.

Hi All Vetassess have announced some important changes from 1st January 2010: http://www.vetassess.com.au/download/qualification_assessment/vetassess_announcement_final_with_occ.pdf If you have a degree in psychology, it will no longer be possible to ask Vetassess to say that you are a Zoologist, though one might wonder why in this topsy turvy world of today...... Similarly it will knock out the use of general Orion Training Diplomas in "Business Admin" for those who want to nominate, say, Hotel or Motel Manager. The official excuse is the need to ensure that applicants are "job ready", with qualifications that are relevant to their work experience. It does not take genius to work out that one of the effects will be to reduce the demand for GSM visas. Cheers Gill

I am a high risk country, non csl 176 visa applicant. My nominated occupation is Financial Investment Adviser and I've been affected by the SEP09 changes. A friend of mine has a business in Australia where I could work, but which has nothing to do with my nominated occupation. I wouldn't mine working as a kind of Office manager as long as it helps to speed visa granting. Would DIAC demand that there is a relationship between the Oz business activities and the nominated occupation? Or could the business say for example that they need me given that they need someone they trust and that I fulfill certain conditions that no other employee could fulfill? Thank you very very much for your help.

Thank you. Lauren

Skilled Migration: ACT Government Publishes New Wanted Occupations Lists

Hi all, Can anyone out there ease my worry a bit? We are applying for NSW State Sponsorship as a financial investment advisor and I am really concerned that there will be changes to wanted occupations before we get ours. My skills assssment is due back the end of next week and our agent has the NSW SS form ready to go once we get it back but I have heard that there are due to be many new changes introduced in May (dont know when). Does anyone know if this is right and if the changes would affect individual state sponsorship? thanks so much Karl

Hi All The Australian Capital Territory have issued a new Occupations list for the skilled sponsored subclass 176 visa. Business and Industry Development - Skilled and Business Migration http://www.business.act.gov.au/__data/assets/excel_doc/0003/94584/ACT_Skills_in_Demand_List_March_09.xls The new ACT List is lengthy. They have stuck to their guns, ignored the new CSL and tradies are still in demand. Thee is a very interesting mix of Professional and Associate Professional occupations in demand in the ACT, too. It does look as if it is "business as usual" in the ACT and in the NT so far. Let us hope that the remaining States exercise their own discretions in similar ways. Best wishes Gill

Queensland has updated its lists of occupations and has now released information about sponsorships for off-the list occupations. Here is the relevant link: Queensland eligible skills (Apologies if this has already been posted about, but I haven't spotted anything.) Cheers, Veronika

I'm a bit troubled at suggestions received that people here might have been led to believe that a) you can lose MODL points if the MODL changes after application and b) you can lose your CSL status if the MODL changes after application. Happy to provide the quotes from the legislation which disprove rumour a) and as far as rumour b) is concerned, the ASPC have informed me at a senior level that they're not going to micromanage the list by identifying and removing files after the application has been given priority - evidently they have enough trouble identifying the IT occupation files which ought to go into the CSL in the first place. If people are lodging unnecessary state sponsorship applications then this is going to slow down the processing for everyone, and personally I can't see much to gain by applying for state sponsorship if you're on the CSL, experience already suggests that it's not going to be more than four weeks difference in timing, ie about the time it takes to get a state sponsorship application sorted. Cheers, George Lombard

Hi all I am currently based in the UK (originally from South Africa) - and altough I plan to stay for another 6 months or so in the UK, I would like to start the process of applying for General Skilled Migration to Aus. Although there is lots of info on the web, I hope someone can maybe give me more information on the following: 1) I have a total of 8 years IT experience - with all 8 years in a listed occupation on the shortage list: 3 years LAN Admin, 2 years C# Software Developer, 3 years with specialization in Data Warehousing. I see mostly 6 years experience is required, but is it in a specific field, or will I be eligible based on above (overall 8 years in 3 different fields of "computing professionals")? 2) There is quite a lot of migration "experts" on the net who wants to sign you up and ask fees after a 5 question "Am I eligible?" questionare. Can someone recommend reputable agents in the UK I can use? (I am most of the time based in Birmingham but travel frequently to London) - even more preferred if they specialize in IT professionals. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards Henry

Does anyone know how I can find out what state will sponsor what occupations? I have been told my current job fits within the 'Office Manager' role, but this means South Australia would be my only choice. Does anyone know if this is definitely the case as ideally wanted Perth! Thanks!:unsure:
