Changes to the occupation list

We’ve already covered the additions and removals, so we won’t repeat them here — for details, see:Canberra state nomination list update coming soon! Auditor and other occupations added!

Most occupations have been retained, so there’s no need to worry! If you have any questions about the occupation list update or these changes, feel free to contact me directly.

This occupation appeared on the list when the critical list was first announced, and most accounting students had it assessed. A number of clients at our Canberra office were invited under this occupation and successfully received nomination. The ACT government then carried out a new review, during which finance manager was removed — and this update has now added it back.

So, for this occupation, our advice is: more skills assessments, more pathways. After all, finance manager has its own dedicated allocation of 5 places per month. Most accounting students can obtain the skills assessment for it, so we’d recommend giving it a try.

Very similar to the finance manager occupation mentioned above,accounting students who have studied an auditing subject can obtain a skills assessment. This occupation also has 5 places available per month.Overall, the monthly allocation for accounting students has gone from the original 10up to 15 now,so keep working on your points and aim to get invited as soon as possible.

Skills assessment requirements: if you currently havestudents studying a Diploma in Hospitality Management and Food and Beverage Services or a higher, highly relevant qualification,with a cumulativeone year of relevant work experience, can pass the VET skills assessment.

Please note:

An MBA or general management studies qualification is not recognised by VETASSESS. Nor is a commercial cookery qualification recognised if the coursework focuses only on cooking skills rather than hospitality management.

The ACT government currently has a special stream for 457 and 482 visa holders applying for ACT state nomination — a matrix score above 60 is enough to apply.However, please note that applicants still need a matching skills assessment and an English score of four 7s;

This occupation’s return to the list also creates an opportunity for applicants who were previously waiting and watching — if you have the relevant qualifications and work experience and want to get a skills assessment done, feel free to message us directly!

Skills assessment requirements:a relevant qualification plus one year of highly relevant work experience;

Relevant qualifications include:

· Human Resource Management/Strategy

· Organisational Development/Psychology

· Workforce Analytics

· Diversity and Inclusion

Other fields of study may also be considered relevant, but this is assessed on a case-by-case basis. For example, a student with an engineering background who works in engineering recruitment could be considered to have a relevant qualification.

In addition,HR professional and Workplace relations adviserhave also returned to the list, butcan only apply for 491.

Skills assessment requirements:a relevant qualification plus one year of highly relevant work experience;

Relevant qualifications include:

architectural design and building design are both relevant fields; non-relevant fields include civil and structural design.

Unfortunately, this update to the list removed architect and landscape architect — but don’t lose heart, asif you have studied architectural design or similar courses and have relevant work experience, we’d suggest trying a skills assessment for Architectural draftsperson.Contact me for a specific assessment.

IIT professions: four new additions:

Hardware Technician

ICT Customer Support officer

Web administrator

ICT Support Technicians

ACT’s policy has always been highly favourable for IT graduates. If you’re in another state and considering moving to Canberra for state nomination, don’t hesitate — the minimum invitation score is just 65 points for the 190.

Applying as a couple with a partner, with an English score of four 7s and six months of full-time work, you can apply for the 190. If applying alone, we’d suggest aiming for an English score of four 8s, purchasing property in the ACT, finding relevant work, and so on — you can also apply after six months.

Skills assessment: first, you need to completethe Certificate III + Certificate IV + Diploma pathway, a total of 2 years of study. During these 2 years of study, you need at least 360 hours of paid work experience as a chef,so that after graduating (you can apply as soon as you receive your Certificate IV), you can apply forthe Job Ready Program.

Step 1:Provisional Skills Assessment — once you have this Provisional Skills Assessment, you can apply for and obtaina 1.5-year Subclass 485 visa.

Step 2:TRA sends someone to your workplace to check whether the working environment meets the skills assessment requirements

Step 3:After completing six months of work experience (during which you must write a monthly log of what you’ve done), TRA sends two TAFE teachers to your workplace to assess on-site whether your work (as a chef) meets the required standard

Step 4:After completing one year of work experienceapply for the full assessment(this is the easiest step)

The Cook skills assessment is relatively easier than Chef at the Step 3 on-site review, making it easier to pass the Job Ready Program.
