- Applications will be open for four intakes per year with a maximum of 1000 applications per intake
- Application intakes will remain open for 4-6 weeks
- The NSW Skilled Occupation List will be expanded and will include all occupations on the 2013/14 NSW Skilled Occupation List as well as those occupations added to the SOL by AWPA in 2014.
