The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) reviews the Shortage Occupation List when commissioned to do so by the Government.

The MAC has carried out two full reviews and four partial reviews of the Shortage Occupation List since May 2010. The MAC recently reviewed the teaching sector and has submitted its report. The Government is considering further reviews of the list as part of the MAC’s wider work plan.

Further information about the MAC’s methodology and the reviews it has carried out are available at:
