Each visa category has a particular Australia Skilled Workers Occupation List. The aspirant is expected to opt for the right occupation from the list at the time of submitting the application. The Department of Jobs and Small Business will go through the list after every six months. They will make changes to list depending on the demand for skilled labour in the Australian job market. They will also take in to account any variations in the job market in the different regions of Australia. Based on all these inputs and surveys the necessary changes will be made.

In order to select the right visa category one needs to first go through the combined current list of eligible skilled occupations. Depending on the occupation that one is currently involved the visa category needs to be selected.
