The new list, that includes 17 different occupations, allows small numbers of sponsored skilled workers to return to Australia to fill urgent skills needs in critical sectors.
Offshore visa holders, who have been sponsored by an Australia business in a PMSOL occupation now can request an exemption from Australia’s travel restrictions but will be subject to a strict 14 days quarantine on arrival at their own expense.
The list would be also complemented by strengthened labour market testing requirements.
