Which lists is Hair or Beauty Salon Manager 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).

Skills assessment

A positive skills assessment for Hair or Beauty Salon Manager comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Hair or Beauty Salon Manager is Group C, AQF Diploma or higher, and its own VETASSESS page carries the single most direct owner-operator warning found anywhere in this family: sole trading hairdressers without any staff would not normally be accepted under this occupation. The suitable list names Hair Salon Manager and Beauty Salon Manager specifically, while excluding Hairdresser and Beautician outright — this code is for someone who manages a salon's staff and operations, not someone who personally performs hairdressing or beauty services.

Where these applications come unstuck

The most common ownership shape in this trade — a hairdresser who owns and runs their own chair alone, with no employees — is exactly the shape VETASSESS's own page rules out. The managerial duties this code assesses require staff to manage; a sole operator performing the services themselves is doing a different, unlisted occupation for skilled-migration purposes, not a smaller version of this one. Anyone considering this code should check staff numbers and management duties before assuming ownership alone qualifies.

An honest read on this pathway

This code reaches only Skills in Demand Regional — no graduate 407, no state nomination, no employer-sponsored pathway outside a labour agreement. For someone who genuinely manages a salon's staff, not just its chairs, this one regional visa tied to an employer is the realistic outcome; for the far more common sole-operator ownership shape, this code likely does not apply at all under VETASSESS's own stated rule.

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.
