Until DIBP actually makes an announcement on their website, I tend to take these rumours as just that.  Rumours.

Just a heads up this is the MIA email I received in regards to this, so I wouldn't call it a rumor. More like a potential for changes to come. It at least gives you some direction as to the DIBP decision and or thought process. 

Skilled Migration List Consultation - Request for comment   The Department of Employment is responsible for undertaking a regular review of the new Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). These occupation lists are used for skilled migration to meet short and medium/long term needs for the Australian economy. The Department has developed a Traffic Light system to flag possible changes occupations currently listed on the STSOL and the MLTSSL. Because there were substantial changes to the skilled migration occupation lists in April and July 2017, the Government has prioritised continuity and stability. There are no proposed changes for the MLTSSL strategic skills list at this time. This current Traffic Light Bulletin is for consultation purposes only. Stakeholder feedback will be taken into account before the list is finalised.  The public consultation period is open until 1 December 2017. The Department invites stakeholders to provide evidence and feedback in relation to the specific occupations identified for possible change, as well as those flagged for no change. The MIA encourages members with clients who may be affected by the proposed changes to the STSOL to provide feedback and evidence to the Department through its online submission template.
