Changes to the Migration Occupations in Demand List

The Australian Immigration Minister has announced changes to the Migration Occupation in Demand List for applicants for General Skilled Migration visas.

The Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) lists those occupations and specialisations identified by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) as being in short supply.

Twelve occupations have been added to the MODL, including five Computing Professional specialisations, Electronics Engineer, Optometrist and Dental Technican, as well as the trade occupations of Binder and Finisher, Landscape Gardener and Tree Surgeon.

Computing Professional – specialising in Sybase SQL Server has been removed from the MODL.

Firstly, have telecommunications engineers been removed from the skilled labour list and Secondly, should we decide to come on my points rather than his how long would i have to have managed a nursery for (based on my degree)? Actually while i thin of it, is there away of coming on joint points should we need to? ie his experience in what he does and my degree……..if that makes sense?

    i did Masters in information system from sydney. my specialization is technology management. does my specialization is in new updated MODL list??

    • it does not matter if it is on modl list or not… U will only get points for modl if you have min 12 months exp (paid)@ 20 hrs per week in your field out of last 24 months, then only U will get points for modl. chances are if you do not have a relative in australia on designated list then u will get stuck on 110 points so try scoring 7 in each module of IELTS to get 25 points then only u will be able to make 120 points..And if you have 1 year exp (paid) then you will get 15 points then there will be no problem… And if you have studyed in regional low population growth metropolitan area the you will get 5 extra points and 5 for 2 years study in australia, if 3 years study in aus then 15 points…best of luck. give details of your age qualification and study in aus.

        Hi, what do you mean when you said “it does not matter if it is on modl list or not… U will only get points for modl if you have min 12 months exp (paid)@ 20 hrs per week in your field out of last 24 months, then only U will get points for modl”?

        Example is my case where I get to nominate “Production Engineer” which is not on the MODL (only on sol & csl). I have been in this field of the last 24 months, (paid)@ more than 20 hrs per week in that , Do I still get the points for modl?

        Hoping for your reply,

        Thanks

    is comercial cookery has been removed from theMODL list of AUSTRALIA in 2009?

    • Rsajesh says:

      is comercial cookery has been removed from theMODL list of AUSTRALIA in 2009

    • Hi Kahlon Sahib… Kiddaa…Dont worry Cooking is still on MODL list. But I will suggest after completing your 900 hrs apprentship, start working (Paid)as a cook try having 1 year experience before completion of 6 months after your diploma is finished and get your TRA assesment done before you finish your diploma to save time for filling for pr… New critical list has been introduced in dec 2008. all occupation on critical list get pr on fast pace for other like cooks and hairdressers it might take a bit longer then that like for e.g 4-6 months etc. so dont worry just get your paid experience for min 1 year (365 days) before filling for pr.
