Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Victoria Skilled Occupation List?

The Victoria Skilled Occupation List is a set of professions that are currently in demand within the state of Victoria for skilled migration. It helps identify candidates with skills that match the state’s economic and workforce needs. Applicants must have an occupation on this list to be eligible for VIC State Nomination. The list is updated periodically based on labour market needs.

2. Who can apply for Victoria state nomination through the Skilled Occupation List?

Anyone with a skilled occupation listed under Victoria’s eligible occupations can apply, provided they meet the required skill assessment, experience, and English proficiency criteria. Applicants must also satisfy points test requirements and demonstrate employability in Victoria. Eligibility may vary by occupation, industry, and sector priority. Meeting the state’s nomination guidelines is essential.

3. How often does Victoria update its Skilled Occupation List?

Victoria updates its skilled occupation priorities based on labour market conditions, industry demand, and state workforce shortages. Updates may occur annually or during the migration program year as needed. These changes help align the state nomination program with economic objectives. Applicants must always refer to the latest list before submitting their EOI.

4. Do I need a job offer to apply under the Victoria Skilled Occupation List?

A job offer is not mandatory for most occupations under the Victoria Skilled Occupation List. However, some sectors-especially healthcare, engineering, and certain technical fields—may prioritize applicants with relevant employment or job prospects. Having work experience in Victoria can strengthen your nomination chances. Always check the specific occupation’s guidelines.

5. What visas can I apply for if my occupation is on the Victorian list?

If your occupation appears on the Victoria Skilled Occupation List, you may be eligible to apply for the Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) or Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) visa. Both visas require an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect and a state nomination from Victoria. The 190 offers permanent residency, while the 491 provides a pathway to PR after regional work requirements. Eligibility depends on points, skill assessment, and state criteria.
