Combined list of eligible skilled occupations 17/18
Combined list of eligible skilled occupations
Separate legislative instruments now exist outlining eligible occupations for the following sponsored visa programmes:
- Employer Nominated Scheme (subclass 186) – Direct Entry Stream
- Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)
As the occupations available are, however, the same, a single list of these occupations is provided below in alphabetical order (for ease of reference).
Note:
- The table below specifies whether the relevant occupation is included on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).
- Applicants for a subclass 457 visa should be aware that the maximum visa period available to you if your occupation is on the STSOL is 2 years unless a longer period is required to meet international trade obligations.
- 4 years is the maximum visa period available if your occupation is on the MLTSSL.
- There are caveats on certain occupations (indicated via ‘*** asterisks’) which exclude the use of the occupation in certain circumstances. A summary of Caveats on occupations is available.
- 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.
The acronyms used in the legislative instrument and this table are listed in the Assessing authorities.
