STSOL — Short-term Skilled Occupation List. Occupations on the STSOL can access state-nominated and regional skilled visas (190/491), but not the Skilled Independent 189.
Visas this occupation can access
Being on a list makes the occupation nominatable for these visas — each visa still has its own requirements (points, age, English, a positive skills assessment, and for sponsored visas a willing employer or state).
- Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) — Permanent, state or territory nominated · all occupations for the 190
- Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) — Provisional, regional, points-tested · all occupations for the 491
- Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) — Provisional, regional employer sponsored · all occupations for the 494

What the assessment actually involves
Health and Welfare Services Managers nec is a VETASSESS Group A occupation on STSOL only, reaching four visa subclasses — state nomination and both regional streams, with no CSOL and therefore no direct employer-sponsored route through this code. VETASSESS excludes Nurse Managers, Nursing Clinical Director, Medical Administrator, Primary Health Organisation Manager and Welfare Centre Manager by name, and, as a not-elsewhere-classified code, requires that the qualification and employment evidence be highly relevant to one of the specific titles given in the ANZSCO description rather than to health-and-welfare management in general.
Where these applications come unstuck
This is the narrowest-reaching code of the three health-management occupations in this family, and it sits at the bottom by list quality too — no CSOL, unlike both Medical Administrator and Primary Health Organisation Manager. An applicant who lands here because their actual title does not obviously match either named neighbour should not assume the nec code is a safe fallback with equivalent reach: it is genuinely the weakest of the three on visa access, not a neutral catch-all.
An honest read on this pathway
Open, but the least useful of the three health-management pathways in this family on the numbers alone — no employer sponsorship route, four subclasses against the eight the Primary Health Organisation Manager code reaches. Anyone whose duties plausibly fit either named neighbour has real reason to check that fit carefully before defaulting to the nec code, since the visa consequence of the choice is large.
VETASSESS assesses qualifications and employment separately. Both need documentation that agrees with itself. The Employment History Builder and Document Vault organise each trail before you lodge.
