What is PMSOL?

If you are not aware of PMSOL (Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List) yet, it is the list of occupations that the Australian government finds to be critical in strengthening the country's economy and recovery from the impact of the Covid19 pandemic faster.

Introduced in 2021, the list is created and issued by the government of Australia in collaboration with the National Skills Commission in consultation with Commonwealth departments. The list keeps evolving as the aforementioned agencies monitor the situation and add or remove occupations from the list.
