The Cook Government is taking significant steps to strengthen Western Australia’s in-demand construction sector by hosting an event that connects construction businesses with skilled migrants, to get more boots on the ground in this priority workforce.

The Cook Government successfully secured 10,000 skilled migrant places from the Commonwealth Government for the 2024-25 period. Skilling Western Australians remains the State’s priority, but sectors like building and construction still require more workers to meet demand.

To help employers, the State Government’s Construction Visa Subsidy Program (CVSP) offers up to $10,000 in support to offset the cost of employing a skilled migrant. This includes migration agent fees, visa application costs and relocation expenses.

“This is the first edition of the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA). OSCA replaces the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) for use in Australia.”
“The Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA) is a standardised framework for storing, organising and reporting occupation-related information. It has been established by the ABS through a comprehensive review of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) conducted between July 2022 and December 2024. OSCA replaces ANZSCO in Australia.”
“The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is a system used by the Department of Home Affairs to classify and list occupations for various visa programs. This classification helps determine the skill level, qualifications, and experience required for different jobs.
The ANZSCO codes are used in the skilled occupation lists for visas such as:
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (subclass 186)
Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482)
Skills in Demand (SID) Visa
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)”

“There are 456 occupations that Australia has a skills shortage in, with some pulling in salaries of $200,000. See what the roles are and how much they earn.” (c) Nicole Cridland – National News Network

The Australian Government has unveiled a new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) to address critical skills shortages in the country’s economy.

WHAT IS THE CSOL?

It is a new targeted job skills list designed to attract skilled migrants who will make a significant contribution to the Australian economy.

The new CSOL will fill positions where Australian workers are unavailable.

Critically, this will include the housing sector to tackle the nation’s housing shortage.

It includes a raft of reforms that will replace outdated, complex and rigid occupation lists in Australia’s temporary skilled visa program.

HOW IS IT BETTER?

The new CSOL has been streamlined as a single consolidated list, informed by labour market analysis and stakeholder consultations by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA).

Its creation provides access to temporary skilled migration for 456 occupations spanning a

range of industries, including health, education, construction, agriculture and cyber security.

WHY IS THERE A SKILLS SHORTAGE?

There were three key findings that revealed factors that led to significant gaps in a range of skills within the labour market that the CSOL reforms hope to improve.

Examples of the sectors and some jobs within them identified as being in shortage nationally are listed below.

Suitability gap

The occupations below are examples of some of the jobs that attracted enough qualified applicants, but where a skills shortage occurred because a significant number of applicants were not seen as suitable by employers – for example, a lack of relevant work experience and/or employability skills.

*Auditors

*Financial Investment Advisers

*Marketing Specialists

*Architects and Landscape Architects

*Electronics Engineer

*Agricultural, Fisheries and Forestry Scientists

*Multimedia Specialists and Web Developers

*Software and Applications Programmers

*Computer Network Professionals

Retention gap

Shortages occur due to below average rates of retention and low numbers of new applicants per vacancy. The CSOL reforms address better pay and/or working conditions, professional development and clearer career pathways as ways to alleviate this shortage.

Examples of some of the jobs included as creating a skills shortage due to poor retention are listed below.

Construction sector:

*Glaziers

*Plasterers

*Renderers

*Roof Tilers

*Wall and Floor Tilers

Hospitality sector occupations:

*Chefs

*Cooks

*Bakers

*Pastry cooks

*Butchers

*Smallgoods Makers

*Dental Therapists

*Child Carers

Training gap

Skills shortages have occurred as a result of both short and long-term training gaps.

“The supply of tradespeople, architects and other building professionals will fail to meet projected demand well into the 2030s, a major building report has found.”
“Build Skills Australia – a jobs and skills council established by Labor to address workforce planning and training needs – has released its workforce plan, which warns that the government’s ambitious housing target of 1.2 million new homes over five years will face supply constraints.”
“The report estimates that next year’s building-sector labour demand will be more than 2 million workers, but there will be supply shortfall of almost 200,000.
By 2030, the report predicts, the sector will need 2.44 million workers to satisfy demand, but fall short by 370,000 workers. By 2035, the gap will still be significant, at 267,000 workers.”
“Master Builders Australia chief executive Denita Wawn said the construction industry was built on the success of migration and called on the government to consider a specific visa for tradespeople.
“Our view is that, like New Zealand, Canada and the UK, we do need a specific tradie visa that recognises that we have a significant shortage [and] has ways of recognising their qualifications,” she said.
“It’s an international marketplace where we need to be competitive, and currently we’re not.”
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar backed Wawn’s view, arguing it was “absurd” that all skilled tradespeople weren’t included in the skills-in-demand visa.”
