##### Jobs and Skills Australia reviews the Core Skills Occupation List each year. Learn how the 2025 review may impact employers planning to sponsor workers.

#### Quick Answer

The next review of the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) will begin in late 2025. This review decides which occupations stay, change or leave the list, directly affecting your ability to sponsor workers.

Every year, the government looks at labour market data and industry feedback to update the CSOL. The goal is to match migration with skills shortages across Australia. Employers who rely on sponsorship should watch these updates closely.

For example, in the 2024 review, roles in hospitality and construction were expanded, while some administrative roles were removed. If your occupation is re-classified, your future sponsorship options may change.

#### How to Stay Prepared

1. Check the Jobs and Skills Australia consultation page.
2. Provide feedback if your industry faces staff shortages.
3. Confirm your occupation before lodging nominations.

**Need to know if your role will stay on the CSOL?**  
Seven Corp tracks every update and can advise you before changes take effect.
