Who assesses this occupation

The assessing authority for 135112 can change, and some occupations have more than one recognised body depending on your visa pathway. The verified current authority is on the ICT Project Manager occupation page. Check that page, not a cached copy, before you start your assessment.

Which lists it sits on

As of 2026-03-02, ANZSCO 135112 appears on these Australian visa occupation lists (Home Affairs skill occupation list):

• Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL): opens pathways for the Skills in Demand visa and related programs.
• Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL): opens certain short-term skilled worker pathways.

Being on a list opens a pathway. It does not guarantee an invitation, a skills assessment outcome, or a visa grant. Those depend on your individual circumstances and the program rules at the time you apply.

For the current 2025 Occupation Shortage List rating, check the occupation page, which links the live Jobs and Skills Australia data. List membership and shortage rating are separate reads: a code can be on CSOL without a shortage rating, and vice versa. The shortage rating tells you how tight supply is in the labour market right now. The list tells you which visa programs are open to the occupation. Both matter, and neither replaces the other.

Near-miss codes to check

ICT Project Manager sits in the ICT Managers group (1351) alongside two codes that are easy to confuse:

• Chief Information Officer (135111): the most senior ICT executive in an organisation, responsible for setting ICT strategy org-wide, not tied to project delivery.
• ICT Managers Not Elsewhere Classified (135199): a catch-all for ICT manager roles that do not fit 135111 or 135112.

If your role has “project” in the title and you own the full project lifecycle, 135112 is the likely match. If your role is more general ICT management, 135111 or 135199 may be closer.
