Department of Home Affairs has released the most recent Australian Immigration Skilled Occupations List which came into effect on 11 March 2019. To respond to changes in the Australian labour market and regional variations across Australia, the list is reviewed regularly by the Department of Jobs and Small Business.  Pending nomination and/or visa applications will not be adversely impacted by the subsequent removal of any occupation from the skilled occupation lists. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/skilled-migration-program/recent-changes Refer to the below table to find out which occupations are eligible for the relevant subclass visas for Australian immigration skilled occupations.
