There are many shortages of qualified workers in Australia according to the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) Some require specific schooling to qualify for a work visa in one of these in demand occupations. If I go to school in Australia, complete the schooling requirements for a specific occupation, what is the likely hood of being issued a work visa upon completion of the schooling?

If your qualifications are what are required for a positive skills assessment and if the occupation is still listed on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) when you apply and if you can pass the points test and meet the health, character and English language requirements, you should eventually get a visa but it is by no means automatic. Australia's immigration authorities have always made it quite clear that education in Australia and immigration visa requirements are two completely separate issues, and if the rules change to remove the occupation or to make the skill requirements more stringent while you are doing your course, you have no avenue of appeal. Many people have discovered this to their cost. Note that I haven't referred to the MODL in the above. Huge changes in the MODL can be expected in the next few months and it is absolutely impossible to predict what those changes will be. Occupations will be removed and others will be added; the MODL may (or may not) replace the CSL; points may change and so may processing priorities and the MODL could operate in a different way than at present, but submissions have only just been called for and it's too early to say what the changes will be. It's reasonably safe to say that occupations that are currently on the CSL will remain, but that's about the only (near) certainty.
