Guest shaunaforoz Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi, I am afraid like the rest of us you will have to find another occupation on the list possibly in another state i am afraid. There seems to be a lot of us in the same boat. Good luck though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comforting words of hope out there? Sorry to make bad news worse, but my understanding was that it has come off the list altogether and therefore not eligible even for state sponsorship. I just looked on CSOL and did not see it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think the only option would be RSMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxey Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Ok, am confused!

They are different occupations with different codes and are not interchangeable, you have to be precise. What did your skills assessment come back with. Office Manager is not on the list, Program & Project Administrator is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxey Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Talking about Office Manager and that is what I had my skills assessed against... suppose then no hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaunaforoz Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi, I thnk you are confusing yourself and I suppose some of the sites aren't helping. The occupation of 'Office Manager' was on two state sponsorship lists prior to the 1st of July 2012, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. On the 1st of July it was removed from the state sponsorship list of WA, and whilst the ACT list is not out yet I would say it is fairly safe to assume it will have been removed from that list as well, however you will have to wait until it is released to confirm this. The 'Program or Project Administrator' occupation is a completely seperate occupation to 'Office Manager' and you would have to be reassessed for this occupation. The occupation of 'Office Manager' is not on the CSOL list and I think the confusion is caused by the fact that it is in on the skill select list with a ceiling allocated to it of 9000 and something. Maybe if you put up what your occupation is we might be able to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxey Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hello, Apologies and thanks for your patience! My occupation is Office Manager. And yes, all correct about WA state sponsoring as that was the initial plan. I just didn't do well enough on hte reading part of my ielts which let me down in not being able to apply before the deadline as all my paperwork was in place, so all because of a stupid english test!!! I know that having spoken to migration agents in the past the Project and Program Administrator can be assessed against my current occupation as the majority of responsibilities are the same, however I would have to re pay, resend everything again with no guarantee this would be the case. I haven't checked Canberra's list either, but if they did have my occupation, would I be able to apply under Office Manager even though it's on the ceiling list? OR is this the end...................... :em4600: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaunaforoz Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I may be wrong but I assumed that the occupation ceiling was just that, you can apply for the occupations but once that number has been reached they will not accept any more. However in order to apply for a particular occupation it must be on CSOL or the state sponsored list. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but I am pretty sure that you will have to get reassessed. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
