    How much the occupation is in demand

    The government assesses each year how hard each occupation is to fill. The measure is the share of vacancies employers manage to fill; below 67% an occupation counts as being in shortage.

    The list changes yearly and differs between states, so it is worth checking at the source rather than in someone's summary.

    Verified against an official sourceJobs and Skills Australia, Occupation Shortage Listchecked 23.08.2026

    This is labour-market data, not visa information. A shortage does not mean easier visa outcomes and does not guarantee employment — a specific employer makes that decision.
