482 Visa List - Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL)

This page is updated regularly. Last updated: Wednesday, 14 January 2026

On December 3, 2024, the Australian Government announced the release of the new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), the new 482 Occupation List.

Developed by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA), the 482 Visa Occupation List or CSOL includes 456 occupations.

The CSOL applies to the Core Skills stream of the new 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa, which replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa on December 7, 2024, as well as to the 186 Visa Direct Entry stream.

Some occupations, such as Café or Restaurant Manager, Real Estate Representative, Graphic Designer, Chiropractor, and Gardener (General), were excluded from the official 482 Visa List or Core Skills Occupation List released on December 3rd.

Meanwhile, Child Care Worker, Beauty Therapist, Retail Manager and Tour Guide are some of the occupations now included on the new 482 Occupation List / Core Skills Occupation List.

If you hold a 482 visa and have worked for a sponsoring employer for at least two years on a 482 visa, you may be eligible to apply for the 186 Visa Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream, and your occupation does not need to be on the Core Skills Occupation List.
