The State Priority Occupation List (SPOL) is updated annually to assist, guide and inform workforce planning and development needs for Western Australia. Skilled occupations are listed and rated according to their priority and industry critical status in WA.

The current list can be viewed here.

​A secondary purpose of the SPOL is to determine which particular qualifications are eligible to receive additional subsides via the Priority Industry Qualification List (PIQL). Visit the DTWDs website for more information on the PIQL. Click here to view the current list for 2020.
