What is the Australian STSOL?

The Australian Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) is a government-aligned list of occupations that are in short-to-medium-term demand across Australia.
It forms part of the skilled visa framework and is used by immigration authorities to determine which roles international applicants may be eligible to nominate for specific skilled visa subclasses.
Being on the STSOL can open opportunities for overseas workers with relevant qualifications and experience to work in Australia, particularly in areas facing workforce shortages.

How long is the STSOL valid for?

The STSOL does not have a single fixed expiry date — it is regularly reviewed and updated by the Australian Government to reflect changes in labour market needs and economic priorities.This means occupations can be added, removed, or adjusted over time.To ensure eligibility for a visa application, it’s important to refer to the most current version of the STSOL at the time you apply.

The Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) is used to determine eligible occupations for various skilled visa pathways, including:Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491) – State nominatedState Sponsored Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)⚠️ Occupations on the STSOL may change over time. Always refer to the current government-approved list or relevant legislation for the latest occupation details before applying.
