Visa lists this occupation sits on

As of March 2026, ANZSCO 135199 appears on two Australian skill occupation lists and one New Zealand pathway:

• Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL): the CSOL is the main list for the Skills in Demand visa and related programs. Its current version is on Home Affairs. Always check the live list before relying on any article, including this one.
• Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL): the STSOL covers short-term sponsored work. The same Home Affairs page holds both lists.
• NZ Green List Tier 1: Tier 1 of the New Zealand Green List (effective 26 March 2025) is the higher-demand tier. It can open a faster pathway to residence in New Zealand.

Being on a list opens a visa pathway. It is not the same as a shortage rating. For the 2025 Occupation Shortage List rating, see the occupation page, which links the current data.

Near-miss codes to rule out

ICT Managers sit under the ICT Managers group (1351). Two codes in that group are easy to confuse with 135199:

• Chief Information Officer (135111): this code is for the top ICT executive in an organisation, responsible for directing ICT strategies, plans and operations at an enterprise level. If your role is that senior executive function, 135111 may fit better than 135199.
• ICT Project Manager (135112): this code is specifically for managers who plan and lead ICT projects, accountable for resourcing, scheduling and delivering project milestones. If your role centres on project delivery, 135112 may fit better than 135199.

The “nec” label means “not elsewhere classified”. It applies when your role is genuinely senior ICT management and none of the more specific codes fit. If a named code describes your job, the named code is usually the correct pick.
