Australia Immigration Interpretation for CSOL.
The Division of Domestic Issues has clarified the suggestions of Caveat 14, tending to concerns with respect to its elucidation in connection to the Center Aptitudes Occupation List (CSOL). This caveat relates to parts “not given for beneath an Worldwide Exchange Commitment (ITO)” and was initially outlined to emphasize occupations recorded on the CSOL due to commitments beneath ITOs.
However, the Department has recognized that the language of the caveat, especially when considered alongside the Explanatory Statement, may result in a narrow interpretation suggesting that applications for Chefs are confined to certain nationalities as dictated by existing ITOs.
To rectify this situation:
- The Department will prioritize amendments to the instrument to enhance clarity.
- In the meantime, applications for Chefs will not face nationality restrictions, allowing such applications to be submitted and approved without issue.
Caveat 14's Relevance to Other Occupations:
The caveat will continue to apply to specific occupations, reflecting particular labor market dynamics and stakeholder input:
- Other Sports Coach or Educators (Wushu Military Expressions Coach or Yoga Teachers As it were): This part, classified as a Aptitude Level 4 occupation, is for the most part not included on the CSOL.
- Private Tutors and Teachers nec and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner: These positions were not endorsed for inclusion based on feedback from stakeholders and labor market assessments conducted by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA).
