MODL: Migration Occupations in Demand List

The MODL has now been revoked and will no longer play a part in the Australian visa application process. Please refer to the Skilled Occupation List for details of which occupations will be eligible under the updated General Skilled Migration program.

As a result of the Australian visa changes introduced on 8 February, 2010, the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) is now revoked. Therefore, anyone who has not already lodged their skilled Australian visa application will not receive additional points on the basis of their nominated occupation being on the MODL.

This page has been kept for posterity for the timebeing, but please note that nominating any of the occupations below will now have no impact on your Australian skilled visa Points Test.
