The Australian Government has today confirmed that its new Skilled Occupations List for the General Skilled Migrant category has come into effect. The suspension on applications that has been in force since March has now been lifted. Anyone considering emigrating to Australia should contact their registered migration agent for details of lodging their residence visa application.

Also, New South Wales has today announced its State Migration Plan including the occupations list for Skilled Sponsored Visa Subclass 176 and 475. Other states are set to follow in the near future, allowing prospective emigrants further opportunities for regional migration as an alternative to the federal options.
