Piotr Ferenc, Migration Agent of “Pacific Center”, about changes of SOL

The new Skilled Occupations List (SOL) has been released and will apply from 1 July 2010.

As expected, the occupations of cook and hairdresser have been dropped and the new list contains far less occupations than the current SOL.

Below are links to detailed information, including transitional arrangements.

The new SOL uses  the ANZSCO Dictionary codes  (rather than ASCO Dictionary codes)  for the occupations.
