How Caveats Apply | Skilled Occupation Lists For Migration To Australia

On 14 December 2024, the Australian Government amended legislation to provide clarity on how caveats apply to eligible occupations for the Core Skills Stream of the Skills in Demand 482 Visa.

This included the removal of Caveat 14 from 10 occupations (such as Chef and Corporate General Manager), which ensures that the use of these occupations is not limited only to circumstances where International Trade Obligations apply. Read on to understand more.

How Caveats Apply | Legislative Amendments

The Government has now provided clarity on how caveats will apply to certain occupations on the Core Skilled Occupation List (CSOL).

The CSOL currently has 16 caveats that apply to specific occupations. Some caveats limit the use of a particular occupation under certain work circumstances. Others, such as Caveat 14, were originally included to limit the use of that occupation to circumstances where an 'International Trade Agreement' obligation applied.
