Summary of Ministerial Direction No. 111: Changes to Student Visa Processing
Instrument 2024 (LIN 24/089), effective 7 December 2024
1. Introduction of the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL)
The CSOL consolidates and replaces the three separate occupation lists previously used under the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa.
It specifies 456 eligible occupations for the Core Skills stream, offering expanded access and pathways to permanent residency.
This represents an increase of 189 occupations, addressing skill shortages in various critical sectors.
2. Defined Income Thresholds
Specialist Skills stream: Minimum annual income threshold of $135,000.
Core Skills stream: Minimum annual income threshold of $73,150.
3. Modernised Caveats
The instrument incorporates 14 updated caveats to ensure precision and compliance in occupation eligibility.
Certain restrictions have been removed to enhance visa holder mobility and support workforce needs.
4. Comprehensive Stakeholder Engagement
Developed in consultation with Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) and key industry stakeholders, ensuring alignment with Australia’s labour market requirements.
*Provisional Visas Clarification: The amendment defines ‘provisional visa’ to include temporary visas that are part of a two-stage process towards permanent residency. Medical assessment requirements for provisional visa applicants are now aligned with those for permanent visa applicants.
