On 16th January 2018, the Department of Home Affairs released updated versions of the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). There were no changes to the listings of engineering occupations.
For independent and family nominated migrant engineers, 18 out of 21 occupations in ANZSCO Minor Group ‘233 Engineering Professionals’ are listed on the MLTSSL. The exceptions are: 233611 Mining Engineer (excluding Petroleum) 233612 Petroleum Engineer 233999 Engineering Professionals (not elsewhere classified). The 18 occupations on this version of the MLTSSL are also available for State and Territory Government nominated visas. For permanent and temporary employer nominated visas, all 21 engineering occupations are listed on the respective versions of the MLTSSL. These listings mean that migrant engineers still have virtually unhindered access to the Australian engineering labour market, which remains very poor apart from an upturn in demand for some civil engineering occupations over the last three years.
