Occupation Shortage List

2025 Occupation Shortage List Stakeholder Survey now open. Learn more and have your say.

The Occupation Shortage List (OSL) provides a point-in-time assessment of the shortage status of occupations in the Australian labour market. 

View the data in either the 4 digit ANZSCO level (Unit group) or the 6 digit ANZSCO level (Occupations).

Discover which occupations are in shortage or where the shortage is confined to metropolitan areas or regional areas. 

Explore at the Unit group level to discover ‘Occupation Shortage Drivers’ (OSD). OSDs are used to identify the primary cause or ‘driver’ of occupations rated in shortage in the 4 digit ANZSCO level.

For more information including FAQs, visit the Occupation Shortage Analysis page.
