Who Needs a Skills Assessment for the...
Continue ReadingIf you plan on applying for the employer-sponsored TSS/482 visa, then you will want to check if you will be required to complete a mandatory skills assessment for the 482 visa.
Unlike other Australian visas such as the 491, 189, 190, and 494 visas, where skills assessments are mandatory for everyone, for the 482 visa there are only a small number of occupations and nationalities that must complete the assessment.
Let’s take a closer look at who needs to complete a skills assessment for the 482 visa.
Do you need to complete a skills assessment for the 482 visa?
The below table lists the only occupations for the 482 visa that requires a skills assessment as part of the visa requirements. Even if your occupation is listed below, it doesn’t mean you have to complete the assessment. For each of the occupations listed, it is only specific nationalities or passport holders that must complete the assessment, they are listed below as well.
Who is exempt from taking a skills assessment for the 482 visa
To be exempt from taking the skills assessment for the 482 visa, any one of the below points would need to apply:
- Your occupation is not listed
- Your occupation is listed but you hold a different passport that is listed
- Your occupation is listed, you hold a passport listed but also hold another passport not listed (in this case, you would need to apply for the visa using the passport not listed)
- You have gained the required level of qualification for your occupation by studying in Australia*
*There are a number of education bodies outside of Australia that will issue Australian qualifications once completed, only related Australian qualifications gained by physically studying in Australia can be used for the exemption.
How to complete a skills assessment for the 482 visa
If you as part of the 482 visa requirements you’ll need to complete a skills assessment and do not meet any of the exemptions, then you have two options when completing it.
The first is to complete it on your own. There are a number of documents that must be submitted to the assessing body in stage 1 of the process. These documents and what information must be included, will vary depending on the occupation and assessing body. Once gathered you will then need to complete all of the application documents, submit your gathered documents, and then wait for the outcome. If successful, you would then need to complete a Technical and potentially a Practical Interview before getting your final assessment outcome.
The second option is to get professional help completing the Skills Assessment. There are a number of agents who offer this service, guiding you through every stage of the process. The advantage of using an agent is that they know exactly what to do, which generally saves you time, effort, and stress! As you would imagine, using an agent means extra costs to you.

Understand The 482 Visa Occupation List
Continue ReadingIf you’re thinking about applying for the employer-sponsored TSS/482 visa, you should start by looking at the TSS / 482 visa occupation list, as only certain occupations can be sponsored.
Let’s take a closer look at exactly which jobs can be sponsored, and how to find the full ANZSCO description for your occupation so you know what level of qualification and experience is needed.Â
What is the TSS visa
The Temporary Skill Shortage visa subclass 482 or TSS visa, is a temporary work visa that allows you to work full time in Australia for the employer who nominates you. Like with all Australian visas, there are a number of requirements you must prove you meet but also, your occupation must be included in one of the skilled occupations lists.
What are the different TSS visa occupations lists?
There are three lists for the TSS visa. It’s crucial to know which list your profession is on because it affects the cost of your visa, the English language proficiency required, and how long you can stay and work in Australia. It also may have an impact on whether or not you can stay in Australia permanently and apply for Permanent Residency (PR). Â
If you’d like to learn more about each of the occupation lists, check out our blog posts linked below:
What is ANZSCO and why does it matter?
When reading about most Australian visas, you will come across the word ‘ANZSCO’ quite a lot. This is short for Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupation. It is created and published by Australia’s Bureau of Statistics, and Statistics New Zealand.Â
ANZSCO categorises all occupations and assesses what level of qualification, experience and skill level is needed to successfully work in the role in Australia or New Zealand. Every ANZSCO occupation has a unique ANZSCO code and a description. The ANZSCO job description is what government Case Officers use when assessing your visa application to make sure you have the right level of experience and qualification.Â
Which TSS visa occupations can be sponsored
There are currently 508 occupations that can be sponsored through the TSS visa scheme, which are listed in the table below. Each year this list is assessed and updated to make sure it reflects the skills shortages in Australia’s labour market.
If you want to learn more about the ANZSCO description for each occupation, follow the instruction in the section below the table and you will be redirected to the ANZSCO website.
Table based on the latest version of the 482 visa legislative instrument and updated June 2022.
Find your occupation’s ANZSCO description
If you want to see the full ANZSCO description for your occupation, copy your occupation’s ANZSCO number from the table above → click the button below → you will be redirected to the ANZSCO website → then, paste your occupations number into the search box and click search.
Did you find your occupation? What next...
Now you should have a better understanding of which occupations can be sponsored through the TSS visa, and how to find ANZSCO’s full description so you can check some of the key requirements.
If your occupation was listed, fantastic! The next step is to start gathering all of the documents needed to prove you meet the visa requirements. That’s where Visa Jobs can help. We will explain and guide you through the document gathering stage and then when ready, we can help find you an employer.
