Immigration to Australia has always been the first choice for Hong Kong people, and skilled immigration has always been the first choice for those with tight financial constraints. The Australian Government released the list of priority immigration occupations last Wednesday(New Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List,PMSOL)Which lists 17 occupations in greater demand and give priority to processing immigration applications to help get the Australian economy back on track.
Immigration Minister Alan Tudge said the announcement of 17 PMSOL occupations, mainly in the medical and nursing, construction and information technology sectors, was believed to speed up Australia's response to COVID-19 and contribute to Australia's economic recovery.
The priority immigration occupations mentioned above (and their ANSZCO CODE) include:
- Chief Executive or Managing Director (111111)
- Construction Project Manager (133111)
- Mechanical Engineer (233512)
- General Practitioner (253111)

In order to import more talent to Australia to meet the urgent needs of some industries and create more jobs, Australia hedges PMSOL career list.
Applicants who engage in PMSOL occupation and are guaranteed a career visa by an Australian employer may apply for an exemption from the Australian Government's entry visa, provided that they are subject to 14 days of quarantine at their own expense.
The current list of short-term technical occupations (STSOL), medium- and long-term technical occupations (MLTSSL) and remote areas (ROL) remain in effect. However, in response to the outbreak, the Australian Government will give priority to PMSOL's application for guarantee and visa approval.
There are countless skilled immigrants applying to Australia every year, but the selected talents are not in the minority and the success rate has always been low. If you have a career in the PMSOL list, try it.
