Below
is a list of occupations, which have been identified as being
in demand in Australia. This list is called the Migration
Occupations in Demand List (MODL).
People seeking to migrate to Australia on the basis of their
work skills receive points if their nominated occupation is
on the MODL, which is current at the time their application
is assessed (not when their application is lodged).
They receive extra points if they have a job offer in their
nominated occupation from an organisation that has employed
at least 10 people on a full-time basis for the previous two
financial years.
· For occupation in demand, but with no job offer -
15 points
· For occupation in demand with job offer - 20 points

* Important: If you nominate one of the above specialist computing occupations, you will only be awarded MODL points if your skills assessment from the relevant the Australian Computer Society (ACS) states you have met the criteria to be recognised in one of the above specialisations.
The ACS has advised that assessments provided to successful applicants will state the ASCO Code for Computer Professional nec with the specialisation in brackets -- for example, 2231-79 (SAP). In addition, the assessment will have the following statement: "Based on the provided certified documentation, it is my opinion that the applicant has 12 months experience in (name of specialisation, for example, SAP)".
If you have a skills assessment which only states the ASCO Code for "Computer Professional nec 2231-79", you are not eligible to be awarded MODL points. A new assessment will be required if you wish to claim points for having an occupation on the MODL. |
