Home Affairs uses ANZSCO 2022 code 224713 for visas 186 and 482, and ANZSCO 2013 code 224711 for the other skilled visa subclasses. Check the version specified for your visa and stream, as a code change may also reflect a change in the occupation description.
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
80In the recorded round on 4 June 2026, the lowest score invited for this occupation was 80 points.
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
Excludes any position in a business that has an annual turnover of less than AUD1,000,000.
- 186 - Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) - Direct Entry Pathway
Excludes any position in a business that has an annual turnover of less than AUD1,000,000.
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.

ANZSCO skill level 1
Skill level 1 ANZSCO broadly places these occupations at bachelor’s degree level or above. At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification in the classification, and some occupations require additional experience or training. This does not automatically replace the qualification requirements of a skills assessment or visa.
In Australia and New Zealand: Most occupations in this unit group have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification. At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification.

Unsure whether this occupation fits your work?
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. That discussion can also help you understand how the occupation choice affects the visa options you are considering.
