PAY ATTENTION! NSW to focus on priority sectors rather than lists of skilled occupations
Important Update: NSW will focus on priority sectors rather than skilled occupation lists
To better address the evolving skills shortages across the state, NSW is shifting from publishing a list of eligible ANZSCO unit groups to a new sector-focused approach.
What’s Changing
Previously, we published a skills list comprised of specific ANZSCO unit groups. Effective immediately, we’re now focusing on priority sectors that need skilled talent.
NSW Target Sectors
The sectors we’ve identified align closely with the skills shortages in NSW and include:
- Health
- Education
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
- Infrastructure
- Agriculture
