As of 8 February 2010, the Critical Skills List (CSL) is under review and is likely to be revoked around mid 2010.
If an Australia visa applicant has nominated an occupation on the CSL in their application it will be subject to priority processing. The CSL issued by the Australian immigration has a significant influence on the current skilled migration programme to Australia.
The CSL consists of a range of skilled occupations Australian immigration have deemed as being in shortage that the current Australian labour market can not supply.
To view the latest CSL please go to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
