491 occupation list.
Find where
your skills fit.
Explore occupations for the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491). Start with the federal lists, then check the conditions for your pathway.
The list.
The details that matter.
Choose a pathway, then search by occupation or ANZSCO code. Inclusion is a starting point; the remaining visa requirements still apply.
State or territory nomination uses the MLTSSL, STSOL and ROL. Each jurisdiction sets its own nomination criteria, priorities and application windows.
| Occupation | ANZSCO | List | Assessing authority | 491 pathway |

Federal list coverage, not a nomination offer. A suitable skills assessment, nomination or eligible family sponsorship, invitation and other visa requirements still apply. The list uses ANZSCO 2013. “nec” means “not elsewhere classified”.

Found a match?
Check the next step.
Your job title is only part of the picture. We help you connect your work, qualifications and visa position with the requirements.
-
Match the work you actually do
Check that your duties and background fit the nominated occupation. A similar title alone may not be enough.
-
Check the skills assessment
Confirm the relevant assessing authority and its evidence requirements. A suitable assessment is required; timing, validity and any transitional rules need to be checked.
-
Review the pathway as a whole
Consider state nomination or eligible family sponsorship, points, invitation requirements and your plans for regional Australia. An EOI or list entry does not guarantee an invitation.
