Labour market access

Australia decided to remove Hospital Pharmacist, Retail Pharmacist, and Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (Avionics, Mechanical and Structures) from the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) from 1 July 2013. No skillsets were added to the list. The SOL is one of the lists used by the Australian points based immigration system to prioritise immigration of skillsets that are in high demand.
