Update to the National Shortage Occupation List

With immediate effect, Chartered Quantity Surveyors have been added to the National Shortage Occupation List.

As a result of this change, work permit applications for Chartered Quantity Surveyors will no longer need to be subject to a full resident labour test.

This change to the National Shortage Occupation List has been the result of consultation with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and relevant key stakeholders on the Engineering Sector Advisory Panel.

Please let us know if you are looking to make an application for such a role.
