Caveats and notes
Caveats and state-specific details are grouped here so the eligibility summary stays easy to scan.
General caveats and state notes (8)
- Subclass 491 availability in this file reflects the state-nominated pathway only.
- NSW uses ANZSCO Unit Groups. This tool shows NSW when the unit group is listed and the occupation is available for the relevant federal visa; NSW notes that not every occupation in a listed unit group is eligible.
- ACT availability follows the ACT occupation-code list. Occupations marked 491 Only are treated as subclass 491 only.
- NT onshore nomination matching follows the corresponding federal skilled occupation eligibility; offshore priority stream detail is limited to occupations on the NT Offshore Migration Occupation List and is generally a subclass 491 pathway.
- VIC does not publish a separate occupation list, so availability follows the occupation's relevant federal skilled visa eligibility.
- SA availability follows South Australian occupation-code entries and the subclasses shown in the SA stream details.
- TAS general nomination matching follows the corresponding federal skilled occupation eligibility; subclass 190 Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway details are shown only when the occupation is in the TSE Priority Occupations list.
- WA availability follows WA occupation-code entries and the WA subclass 190 and 491 indicators.
