Skilled Occupation Lists
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) publishes a list of occupations which are suitable for temporary or permanent skilled visa applications for Australia. Your occupation needs to be on the correct Skilled Occupation List to be eligible for the visa.
MLTSSL for subclass 189, 489 and 485 visa applications
This occupation list is applicable for the following visa applications:
- Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa
- Subclass 489 Skilled Regional Sponsored (Relative) Visa
- Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa
STSOL for subclass 190 and 489 visa applications
This occupation list is applicable for the following visa applications:
- Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa
- Subclass 489 Skilled Regional Sponsored (State/Territory) Visa
The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme subclass 187 is a permanent residence visa. Commonly referred to as the RSMS, this employer-sponsored visa allows South Australian employers to nominate migrants as skilled workers.
The aim of the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme visa is to fill skills shortages within local Australian business. Below you will find the complete skilled occupations list for the RSMS 187, ANZSCO Code, and the occupations skill level requirement.
The RSMS 187 visa can be granted to offshore applicants, as well as temporary residents already living and working in Australia. Once the subclass 187 visa is granted, the applicant will be able to live and work in Australia.
The subclass 187 currently encompasses two streams; the Direct Entry Stream and the Temporary Residence Transition Stream.
The Direct Entry Stream
This visa lets skilled workers, who are nominated by an employer, live and work in Australia permanently.
Processing Times:
75% of applications: 21 months
90% of applications: 22 months
The Temporary Residence Transition Stream
This visa lets skilled workers, who are nominated by their employer in regional Australia, live and work in Australia permanently.
Processing Times:
75% of applications: 78 days
90% of applications: 9 months
* More detailed information from Home Affairs on the RSMS 187 visa requirements and streams.
