Your ANZSCO code, not your job title, decides which skilled subclasses are open to you. Three questions sort 189, 190, 491, 482 and 186 from the code outward.
The points test gates the 189, 190 and 491 skilled visas. You need at least 65 points to be invited — but the real cut-off runs higher. Here is what counts.
A skills assessment is mandatory for most skilled visas, but not all. Here is how the requirement is structured and where narrow exemptions sit — confirm yours officially.
The 190 and 491 visas need state nomination, and each state publishes its own occupation list. The same ANZSCO code can be open in one state and absent in another.
