What are the changes to the gazetted list of occupations?
On 1 April 2009 the government announced that the range of occupations available under standard business sponsorship arrangements has been revised to include only gazetted occupations in ASCO major groups 1 to 4. This change takes effect from 15 May 2009 and will affect employers in specified regional areas as they will no longer be able to nominate activities for overseas workers that have tasks that correspond to the tasks of certain occupations. The occupations affected are those in ASCO major groups 5 to 7.
