Current Australia Occupations Lists

Australian Occupations Lists

To be eligible for an Australian 482 visa, it’s crucial to have a job in high demand. Your occupation must appear on one of the Australian occupations lists to determine its demand status and determine if it qualifies for a 482 visa.

Australian occupations lists

Australian occupations lists are a crucial aspect of Australia’s immigration system, as they determine the eligibility of individuals for various visa categories. There are three main lists: the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), and the Regional Occupation List (ROL).

The MLTSSL includes in-demand, high-skilled occupations that are crucial for the long-term growth and development of the Australian economy. Individuals with occupations on this list are eligible for the 482 visas or the 186 visas.

The STSOL, on the other hand, includes a smaller list of high-demand occupations that are considered crucial for the short-term growth and development of the Australian economy. Individuals with occupations on this list may be eligible for the 482 visa, but the visa validity and duration may be shorter than for those on the MLTSSL.

Finally, the Regional Occupation List (ROL) includes occupations that are in demand in regional areas of Australia rather than just in major cities. Individuals with occupations on this list may also be eligible for the regional 491 visa or the 186 visas. The ROL provides opportunities for individuals to live and work in regional areas and contribute to these communities’ growth and development.

You can find links to these individual lists below.

In conclusion, the Australian occupations lists play a crucial role in determining the eligibility of individuals for various visa categories in Australia.

It is important to have your occupations appear on one of these lists to be eligible for a 482 visa. It is also important to note that the eligibility and duration of the visa may vary depending on which list the occupation appears on. It is highly recommended to review and stay up to date with the most current information on these lists to ensure a smooth visa application process.

          Hi Richard – So, the 491 visa is a points-based visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in regional Australia. It is a five-year visa, and applicants must score a minimum of 65 points on the Department of Home Affairs points test to be eligible. You’ll need to be sponsored by an eligible family member or a designated government agency to apply. Employers can also sponsor applicants who meet specific criteria.

          The official link for this visa type is here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-work-regional-provisional-491/application

          I’m curious why the 491 vs versus the 482? Do you have family members who are willing to sponsor you?

          Note that although our focus is the 482 visa, we list any job offering Australia visa sponsorship, including opportunities offering the 491-visa class.

          Regards
