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:

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.
