Social Worker Added to PMSOL

What is PMSOL?

The Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) identifies 18 occupations which fill critical skills needs to support Australia’s economic recovery from COVID-19. The list is based on expert advice from the National Skills Commission and consultation with Commonwealth departments.

Employer sponsored nomination and visa applications with an occupation on the PMSOL will be given priority processing.  All other skilled occupation lists will remain active, but the PMSOL occupations will take priority.

Based on advice from the National Skills Commission, the occupation of Social Worker (272511) has been added to the PMSOL with effect from 27 November 2020.
