Combined list of eligible skilled occupations

On 19 April 2017, the:

  • Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) replaced the previous ‘Skilled Occupation List’ (SOL).
  • Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) replaced the previous ‘Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List’ (CSOL) and is available in Schedule 2 of the relevant legislative instrument.

The information below explains which lists are relevant for particular visa programmes.

Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)

You must nominate an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) if you are applying for any of the below:

  • Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
  • Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) – Family nominated
  • Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – Graduate Work Stream.

Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)

There is no separate STSOL list as visa programmes that utilise this list can also access some additional occupations on the MLTSSL. For ease of reference, we have combined both the STSOL and the eligible MLTSSL occupations together. See: Combined list of eligible skilled occupations.

You must nominate an occupation on this Combined list of eligible skilled occupations if you are applying for any of the below:

  • Employer Nominated Scheme (subclass 186) – Direct Entry Stream
  • Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
  • Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) – State or Territory nominated
  • Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)
  • Training visa (subclass 407)

A combined list of eligible skilled occupations are listed below in alphabetical order.

Note:

  • There are caveats on certain occupations which exclude the use of the occupation in certain circumstances. These caveats only apply to the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (Subclass 457) programme:
    • caveats are indicated via ‘*** asterisks’ and description is provided in separate column called ‘Notes for exclusion’.
  • You can only nominate Minister of Religion (ANZSCO 272211) for Training visa (subclass 407). This is indicated via an ‘* asterisk’.
  • There are 16 occupations in this MLTSSL list which are also only available for the following visa programmes:
    • Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
    • Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) – Family nominated
    • Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – Graduate Work Stream.

    These 16 occupations are indicated via ‘** asterisks’. That is, these 16 occupations are not available for other programmes, such as the 457 visa programme.

  • Applicants who require a skills assessment as part of their visa application must contact a relevant assessing authority directly to obtain a skill assessment. The assessing authority will provide all necessary applications forms and associated information relating to the assessment. There will be a charge by the Assessing authorities for the assessment.
