New skilled occupation list MLTSS
As of 19th April 2017, the Australian Department of Immigration announced future removal of the 457 visa program and revised the Skilled occupation List to a Australian MLTSSL Medium and long term strategic skills list and short term skilled occupation list, revising (SOL) & Consolidated Skilled occupation (CSOL) lists in removing over 200 occupations .

See below for the new skilled occupation job list for Australia.

457 to permanent visa
This means some skilled workers can no longer be eligible to work in Australia under the skilled work program or qualify or be eligible for the permanent subclass 186 sponsored work visa (direct entry stream, TRMS scheme – where you have worked in your role for 2 years, or labour agreement stream). PLEASE NOTE: This will not affect RSMS  187 visa applications as you only need a role on the ANZSCO but this could still change in the future. The new current skilled occupation lists are

Medium and Long term strategic Skills list (MLTSSL)
Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
If your occupation is listed here below in the new skilled occupation list then you are currently eligible for a sponsored work visa either temporary or permanent under relevant visa subclasses (this may change).
