(18/01 Update: Please note, we do not recommend using Department of Home Affair's 'Combined current list of eligible skilled occupations' as we have found several errors, particularly pertaining to the occupations affected by yesterday's changes.

We would recommend either consulting Legislative Instruments IMMI 18/004, 18/005, 18/006, 18/007 and 17/058, or alternatively, we have combined all the lists into 1 simplified, easy-to-understand comparison table. The information has been taken directly from the legislative instruments. Here's the link to our comparison table .)
