The Australian National Skills Council's 2022 Skills Priority List (SPL) has been released. This list released once a year is mainly used for:
Determine the occupations currently in short supply in Australia
Provide an assessment of future occupational needs
It is an important reference for the Australian government when selecting industries for skilled immigrants.
The report card shows: 286 occupations are in shortage in 2022, compared with 153 in 2021, an increase of 133.
Occupational shortages are large primarily in health care professionals and teachers, but the top 20 occupation list also shows shortages in information technology and construction.
Occupations that were in short supply last year but are in short supply this year: Hotel managers, beauty salon managers, chemical engineers, primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, dentists, pediatricians, neurosurgeons, blacksmiths, butchers, web developers, bus drivers, etc.
Occupations that were in shortage last year but not in shortage this year (17 in total): includes the most common accounting, tax accounting and management accounting.
In other words, accounting, the most popular Australian immigration major, has been removed from the shortage list! No longer a high-demand position! The future demand for accounting is only moderate!
At the same time, according to the skills committee report, it can be known that currently top 20 The list of shortage occupations is as follows:
As can be seen from the above picture: nurses , software and applications programmers , caregivers for the elderly and disabled , construction engineering supervisors , child care workers are the five occupations with the highest demand. Among them, there are more than 5,000 job postings for the positions of nurses, software and application programmers, and caregivers for the elderly and disabled people.
The actual impact of policies often has a lag. Therefore, the 2022 Skills Priority List will not necessarily immediately allow the government to re-formulate the list of skilled occupations used for visa processing, but it is possible that the current list of priority immigration skilled occupations will change accordingly.
Although accounting has now been removed from the shortage occupation list, states still invite accountants to immigrate, but the competition is very high, the scores are very high, and it is difficult to directly dissuade them. For example, the 600+ accounting immigration scores recently received were all above 100 points.
Generally speaking, the most in short supply occupations are currently the focus of Australian immigration. Based on the latest 189 invitation data, the invited occupations are concentrated in the three major categories of education, nursing and social work. Therefore, friends who plan to immigrate can consider leaning towards these three aspects~
