MLTSSL – Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List – 2022

Foreign skilled workers with the abilities and experience to get employment in any of the occupations included in the MLTSSL can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) online for any of the jobs mentioned. MLTSSL allows applicants to nominate an occupation for any of the visa categories listed below.

• 1. Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189).
• 2. Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) (unless nominated by a State or Territory Government).
• 3. Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – Graduate Work Stream.

Note: The Australian government has closed the Regional Skilled Migration Scheme Visa Subclass 489 for new applicants. With effect from November 16, 2019, a new visa, the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa Subclass 491, has replaced this visa.

The Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) includes a set of skilled occupations determined by the Department of Education and Training (DET) and the Department of Home Affairs (formerly DIBP).

This list complements both the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and the Regional Occupation List (ROL).

The MLTSSL, or Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List, is a list of jobs that qualify for consideration as part of an applicant’s Australian visa application issued by the Australian government.

You must have an occupation listed on the MLTSSL if you wish to move to Australia under permanent skilled visa schemes. You must select an occupation from the MLTSSL to do so.
