There are a broad number of professional occupations across a range of industries that are eligible for a skilled visa to Australia. Visas for professionals include accountants, auditors, economists, architects, ICT professionals, school teachers and university lecturers, engineers, legal and medical professionals, recruitment/human resources and other business professionals and managers (such as management consultants and sales and marketing managers).

In this article, we explore the various skilled visa options that are available to applicants who are suitably qualified in a selection of professional occupations. We also refer you to our earlier article in this series, for further information on the various skilled visa options, including work visa options, which discusses in more detail their features and requirements.

To qualify for certain skilled visa options, you will be required to obtain a positive skills assessment from a prescribed skill assessing authority for your nominated skilled occupation. A Skills Assessment is an independent review of your skills, qualifications and employment experience to confirm whether you are suitably qualified to perform the nominated skilled occupation in Australia.  Skill assessing bodies for professional occupations include:

As part of our discussion, we identify the prescribed skill assessing body for each selected professional occupation as discussed below. Further below in this article, we also provide further information about the skill assessment requirements for Accountants and Auditors applying through the CAANZ, being one of the most popular professional occupations selected by visa applicants. 

A Note About Skilled Occupations

Please be aware that as of 16 November 2019, the Subclass 489 Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa has been replaced by a new Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa. The Subclass 187 Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) visa has also been replaced by a new Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa. These new visas have a five-year term and provide a pathway to permanent residence with a new Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa, which will be introduced from 16 November 2022.

Applications under the Second Provisional Visa stream of the Subclass 489 visa continue to be accepted. To qualify under this stream, you must hold a subclass 475, 487, 495 or 496 visa at time of lodgement of your application. Be aware that these visa subclasses are no longer being granted by the Department of Home Affairs.

The changes also do not affect the Subclass 887 Skilled (Regional) visa permanent residence visa pathway, which continues to be available to eligible subclass 489 visa holders.

These changes only affect the Direct Entry visa stream under the subclass 187 visa programme. Applications remain open to eligible Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) and Subclass 457 Temporary Work (Skilled) visa holders under the Temporary Residence Transition Stream (TRTS).

Which Professional Occupations May Qualify For An Australia Skilled Visa?

Australia’s migration program uses the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) classification system to identify occupations which may be nominated for a skilled visa. ANZSCO is organised by setting out a general description, skill level, registration and/or licensing requirements and tasks and duties that apply to each occupation.

As noted above, there are numerous professional occupations which are eligible for nomination for a work visa option. Visas for professionals include the following occupational categories (classified as minor groups):

  • Chief Executives, General Managers and Legislators (minor group 111);
  • Advertising, Public Relations and Sales Managers (minor group 131);
  • Accountants, Auditors and Company Secretaries (minor group 221);
  • Human Resource and Training Professionals (minor group 223);
  • Information and Organisation Professionals (minor group 224);
  • Sales, Marketing and Public Relations Professionals (minor group 225);
  • Architects, Designers, Planners and Surveyors (minor group 232); and
  • Legal professionals (minor group 271).

Each minor group comprises unit groups of occupations, which are then further classified into a list of specific occupations. Each occupation is identified with an ANZSCO code. Occupations that are eligible to be nominated for a skilled visa are included on a Skilled Occupation List (SOL), and a prescribed SOL applies to each skilled visa subclass.

We will take a more detailed look at the minor groups listed above, and drill further into the unit groups that make up each minor group. We then conclude by outlining the specific occupations which may be nominated for a skilled visa to Australia.

Skill Assessments For Professional Occupations

As noted in the introduction, there are several prescribed skills assessing bodies for professional occupations, depending on the nominated occupation selected. For the remainder of our discussion, we provide further details about the skill assessment process and requirements for Accountants and auditors applying to the CAANZ, being one of the most popular occupational categories selected by prospective visa applicants. For further information about the other skill assessing bodies, please contact us.
