CaptainC Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The Department of Immigration and Border Protection website is now up and running. All attempts to access immi.gov.au will now redirect to http://www.border.gov.au (For those interested, the Skilled Occupation List does not yet appear to have been updated at time of writing this post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirephobia Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 No new SOL yet, but an announcement here on key changes: http://www.minister.border.gov.au/michaeliacash/2015/Pages/skilled-occupation-list-updated.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirephobia Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The new SOL is documented here: https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2015L01059 (No info on occupation ceilings though as far as I can see) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthvader89 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Some dodgy section called 'labour market test' is also included under Subclass 189 visa. Although it then indicates its for employers, in which case I don't see how it applies to skilled independent migration. Can't be arsed reading it properly right now. http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-/Skilled-Independent-visa-(subclass-189)-document-checklist Also, the released document from the assistant minister seems to indicate all changes will apply to those who are invited to apply on or after 1st July 2015. As for SOL, besides removal of Dentists and Urban/Regional Planners, no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right there, looks like it's a website error to me. The content doesn't appear to fit in the 189 visa document checklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
