Assessing authorities: The authorities shown are the subclass 186 Direct Entry reference. This does not mean every subclass 482 applicant needs the same assessment. Check the relevant assessment pathway, exemptions, licensing and registration requirements.

List inclusion is a starting point. It does not establish eligibility or guarantee sponsorship, nomination or a visa. “None specified” means no occupation-specific caveat is attached to that row in the supplied source. Salary, skills, experience and other requirements still apply. “nec” means “not elsewhere classified”.

A match is the beginning

Your role.
The bigger picture.

We help workers and employers turn an occupation search into a practical visa conversation.

  1. Match the duties

    Start with the work the role actually involves. Check the ANZSCO description against the duties, qualifications and experience, rather than relying on the job title alone.

  2. Check the details

    Review any caveats, the proposed earnings, the employer’s circumstances and any skills assessment, licensing or registration requirements.

  3. Choose the next step

    Consider the relevant visa stream and the evidence needed from both the employer and the worker. A place on the list is one part of that assessment.
