New South Wales Skilled Occupation List for 2024-25
To assist in the growth and development of the state’s economy, New South Wales (NSW) nominates highly qualified people from a variety of industries.
Visa Options:
- Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)
- Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491)
Eligible Occupations
The particular abilities needed for nomination under the Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) and the Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491) are listed in the NSW Skilled Occupation Lists.
These lists are essential for pinpointing important vocations that support New South Wales’ continuous economic growth.
The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, or ANZSCO Unit Group level, serves as the basis for the occupation lists.
It is essential to remember that not all jobs within an ANZSCO Unit Group are eligible for nomination. For each visa category, only the jobs listed explicitly are taken into consideration for NSW nomination.
Please visit the Australian Government’s Home Affairs website for a comprehensive list of qualifying vocations.
