The Department of Immigration Australia has announced the new Skilled Occupations List (SOL) which will apply from 1 July 2014.

  • Chef ANZSCO 351311 
  • Bricklayer ANZSCO 331111
"Tilers" have also been added to the list - it is not entirely clear which occupations are affected, but the new occupations could be as follows:
  • Roof Tiler ANZSCO 333311
  • Wall and Floor Tiler ANZSCO 333411

Rationale for Changes
The Assistant Minister for Immigration, Michaelia Cash, has indicated in her joint press release that Chefs have been added due to the occupation being in short supply. Strong growth is also projected in the cafe and restaurant sector.

The Assistant Minister also indicated that there is a "known deficit" of skilled workers in the hospitality and construction industries in Regional Areas.
