Relevant occupation lists
MLTSSL — Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List This list is used for several skilled visa pathways, including the points-tested 189, 190 and 491 where the applicable rules allow. Being on it does not make an occupation eligible for every skilled or employer-sponsored visa, so check the specific subclass, stream and current instrument.
CSOL — Core Skills Occupation List Introduced on 7 December 2024, the CSOL is used for the Core Skills stream of the Skills in Demand visa, subclass 482, and the Direct Entry stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme visa, subclass 186. Check the stream-specific requirements and any restrictions on the proposed position.

Recorded subclass 189 invitation round
–The recorded subclass 189 results for 4 June 2026 do not show an invitation for this occupation.
The lowest invited score describes what happened in one round. It can change with the occupations selected, places available and candidates waiting, so it is not a fixed score to aim for. Where candidates have the same points, invitation order uses the EOI’s date of effect, broadly the time it reached that score. Check the tie-break information alongside the points result.
States and territories select candidates for the subclass 190 and state-nominated subclass 491 pathways through their own programmes. There is no single national invitation cut-off for those pathways, so look at the relevant jurisdiction’s criteria and published selection information.
Restrictions on eligible positions
A caveat limits the circumstances in which a position can be nominated under a particular visa stream. It may relate to the duties, business or other features of the job. If a restriction excludes the proposed position, the occupation’s presence on the list does not make that position eligible; read the full wording and any exceptions.
- 482 - Skills in Demand (subclass 482) - Core Skills stream
if the nominee is to be transferred to fill the position—the transfer is not an intra-corporate transfer to which an international trade obligation applies
- 186 - Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) - Direct Entry Pathway
if the nominee is to be transferred to fill the position—the transfer is not an intra-corporate transfer to which an international trade obligation applies
Skills assessing authority
Where your visa requires a skills assessment, check the designated authority, the assessment pathway and when the result must be available. The authority sets its own criteria for qualifications, experience and evidence; a positive assessment does not by itself establish that every visa requirement is met.

This does not automatically replace the qualification requirements of a skills assessment or visa.

Choosing an occupation involves more than finding a familiar job title. I can review your duties, qualifications and visa history with you, explain which occupation your evidence may support and identify any gaps before you apply for a skills assessment.
