Have your say on occupational shortages through Jobs and Skills Australia’s (JSA’s) 2026 Occupation Shortage List (OSL) Survey.
Your input will help JSA identify occupations where employers struggle to fill job vacancies.
This information will be used to determine eligibility for government support programs, such as the Australian Apprenticeships Priority List and Core Skills Occupations List, impacting apprenticeship support, skilled migration pathways and workforce development initiatives.
The survey is open from 20 January to 18 March 2026.
If you would like advice or support in preparing a response, please contact your Stakeholder Engagement Manager or email [email protected]
See our website for further information about occupation classification and priority lists and how they work.
