Corporate Treasurer (ANZSCO 221212)

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 Corporate Treasurer 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).

Processing priority

Corporate Treasurer isn't in any of the ANZSCO groups that Directions 121 and 122 list for the priority sectors. Some of the first group is defined by the job rather than the code: a nominated position directly involved in agriculture, aquaculture or fishing, one that directly supports mining, oil and gas or coal production, or one related to defence. Otherwise the application is processed after the priority sectors. For the permanent and provisional skilled visas, applicants who were in Australia when they applied come next, then those who applied from outside Australia. For the 482, Specialist Skills stream applications come before both.

Priority changes the order in which lodged applications are looked at, not whether they are granted. Who is invited to apply through SkillSelect is decided separately. See all 202 occupations in the priority sectors.

Skills assessment

Corporate Treasurer can be assessed by any of these authorities:

What the assessment actually involves

Corporate Treasurer sits on CPA Australia's own occupation list for migration skills assessment, alongside Accountant (General) and Management Accountant, and the family's research found it graded on the same competency framework: a qualification comparable to an Australian bachelor degree, assessed against DEWR and Department of Education guidelines, tested for relevance through CPA's mandatory competency areas by ANZSCO code. CPA Australia, the IPA and Chartered Accountants ANZ are each independently authorised to assess this code, and an applicant chooses which body to use.

Where these applications come unstuck

The trap here is not the assessment itself but the list this code sits on. Corporate Treasurer carries ROL only, unlike Accountant (General) and Management Accountant, which both carry MLTSSL and CSOL. An applicant assuming the shared competency bar means shared visa access would be wrong — this code's list placement is structurally narrower than its closest CPA-assessed neighbours, and that difference has nothing to do with how rigorous the qualification or competency assessment is.

An honest read on this pathway

Because this code is ROL only, it reaches the 494 provisional regional visa and nothing else on the standard skilled pathway — no 189, no 190, no 407, no 482, no 186. A positive CPA, IPA or CAANZ assessment is a genuine, reachable outcome, but it opens a single, regionally-conditioned door rather than the broad menu Accountant (General) or Management Accountant carry under an assessment built on the same competency table.

Whichever authority assesses you, the paperwork is the part applicants underestimate. The Document Vault keeps a single register of every document, what it was needed for, and what is still missing.
