Sports Administrator (ANZSCO 139915)
On the Regional Occupation List
From the official Home Affairs skilled occupation lists, as at 2026-08-12. Lists change at each government update — always confirm on the official page before acting.
Which lists is Sports Administrator on?
ROL — Regional Occupation List. Occupations on the ROL are limited to the regional provisional visas — mainly the Skilled Work Regional 491 and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional 494.
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 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
- Training visa (subclass 407) — Temporary, workplace training · all occupations for the 407

What the assessment actually involves
Sports Administrator is a VETASSESS Group B occupation on ROL only, reaching three visa subclasses — state nomination and both regional streams, with no direct employer-sponsored route through this code at all. Whether this code requires an organisational chart as evidence could not be confirmed either way in this research: it is absent from VETASSESS's 2021 list of occupations requiring one, and no explicit organisational-chart sentence was found stated on the live occupation page itself.
Where these applications come unstuck
The narrow visa reach is the headline issue — no CSOL means no standard 482 or 186 route through this code regardless of the sponsoring body, even a major sports organisation. On the evidence question, do not assume the absence from the 2021 organisational-chart PDF means this code is exempt from that requirement: the same PDF was found to be missing Wholesaler despite Wholesaler's own live page stating the requirement explicitly, so a genuine absence has not been confirmed for Sports Administrator either.
An honest read on this pathway
One of the narrower pathways in the family on paper, and one where the evidence requirements are less clearly documented than most of its siblings. Anyone considering this code should treat the organisational-chart question as open rather than settled, and check VETASSESS's current Supporting Material for Assessment section on the live page directly rather than relying on the 2021 PDF one way or the other.
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.
