The Department of Home Affairs has announced the implementation of the new Skills in Demand visa program with the introduction of the new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL). The updated CSOL and SID visa will replace the current Subclass 482 visa and current occupation lists from 7 December 2024.

Implementation of the SID visa

Most observers (including the author) had come to the conclusion that the SID implementation would be delayed until February 2025 on the basis that the supporting legislation (Migration Amendment (Strengthening Sponsorship and Nomination Processes) Bill 2024) did not pass the Senate in the final sitting of 2024. However the Department's announcement shows that key aspects of the new visa program will be implemented despite the lack of legislative amendment.
