ALL core automotive trades are now included in the government’s occupation list, which the peak trades body said marks a significant milestone for the automotive industry’s workforce development through skilled migration.

The Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA), which presented a comprehensive submission to the government calling for the inclusions, said it welcomed the Australian government’s landmark decision to include the core trades in the new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
It confirms the inclusion of nine essential automotive trades among the 456 occupations eligible under both the new ‘skills in demand’ visa and the ‘direct entry’ stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa, effective from December 7, 2024.

MTAA CEO Matt Hobbs said: “This outcome represents a major victory for the automotive sector nationwide.”
The submission demonstrated that automotive trade wages consistently exceed the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT), underlining the sector’s capacity to support skilled migration pathways.

The approved automotive occupations encompass:
Diesel Motor Mechanic (321212)
Automotive Electrician (321111)
Panelbeater (324111)
Vehicle Painter (324311)
Motor Mechanic (General) (321211)
Vehicle Body Builder (324211)
Vehicle Trimmer (324212)
Motorcycle Mechanic (321213)
Small Engine Mechanic (321214)

Mr Hobbs said: “This decision addresses a critical workforce challenge facing automotive businesses across Australia.”
“The inclusion of these occupations will provide much-needed access to skilled workers, supporting the sustainability and growth of our industry across Australia.”
The CSOL forms a key component of the government’s reformed temporary skilled migration program and will operate alongside the new ‘skills in demand’ visa, which replaces the previous ‘temporary skill shortage’ (subclass 482) visa.
MTAA said it will maintain close engagement with Jobs and Skills Australia and relevant government departments to ensure these reforms effectively address the industry’s ongoing workforce needs.
