New MODL and the priority processing of CSL applications

New MODL and the priority processing of CSL applications

Published By Dinesh Weerakkody - Solicitor & Barrister

As publicised the first issues paper of the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) review, being conducted by DEEWR and DIAC, is open for public comment now.

Many are asking questions about the role of the new MODL and how it affects priority processing of CSL applications.

The arrangements for the transition to the new MODL will be determined once the outcomes of the review are finalised.

The Critical Skills List(CSL) will remain in place while the review is in progress and then be phased out following the implementation of any recommendations flowing from the review.

Occupations which are listed on the CSL receive priority processing, which assists the targeting of the migration program.

These arrangements will continue until the review is finalised. Once the review is finalised, arrangements for phasing out the CSL will be announced.
