Occupation Ceilings 2020-2021

 

Occupation ceilings 2020/2021

The table below shows the occupation ceilings 2020-2021 program year for each occupation on the list of eligible skilled occupations by four-digit ANZSCO code unit group.

​An ‘occupation ceiling’ may be applied to invitations issued under the independent, skilled regional (provisional) visas. This means there will be a limit on how many EOIs can be invited for skilled migration from an occupation group. This ensures that the skilled migration program is not dominated by a small number of occupations. Once this limit is reached, no further invitations for that particular occupation group will be issued for that program year. Invitations will then be allocated to intending migrants in other occupation groups even if they are lower ranking.

Occupation ceiling values are based on a percentage of stock employment figures for each occupation. Employment figures are provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and represent the number of people employed in Australia in each occupation.

Occupation ceilings 2020-2021 do not apply to State or Territory Nominated, Employer Sponsored or Business Innovation and Investment visa subclasses.
