Highlights: Priority to nurses and teachers while granting Australian skilled visas

  • Australia is addressing its scarcity of nurses and teachers by prioritizing their skilled visa applications.
  • Those in the occupations on the priority list will get their visa applications assessed in three days.
  • For some Australian skilled visa types, application processing has been done to ministerial instructions with PMSOL scrapped.

Australia needs more professionals, including nurses and teachers. In fact, there’s a list of professions that are used to prioritize the order of assessment of applications for Australian skilled visas. This new system works on priority occupations set by following ministerial instructions.

Now, the skilled visa applications of professionals like nurses and teachers will be assessed within as early as three days.

Since the abolition of PMSOL (Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List), the ranking of visa applications is done based on professions. Those in demand are given weightage.

These are professions like nurses and teachers who are urgently needed in Australia in large numbers. To gain a perspective of this situation, consider this fact. It’s expected that a shortfall of teachers in Australia by 4,000 positions will be witnessed by 2025.

Unlike the current system of skilled visa application assessment, PMSOL had a large list of occupations. PMSOL had even those professions which were not critically lacking in skilled workers. This made PMSOL ineffective and was replaced by the currently active priority system.
