On the Short-term Skilled 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 ICT Trainer on?

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).

Skills assessment

A positive skills assessment for ICT Trainer comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

ACS assesses ICT Trainer under the same four-pathway Migration Skills Assessment. Its own duty text: analyse and evaluate information-based system training needs and objectives, then develop, schedule and conduct ICT-based system training programs and courses. General Skills is the common route for experienced applicants with a relevant IT qualification, with a 10-year work-experience window counted back from the online application's submission date and overlapping employment periods counted once. RPL (six years' experience, two Project Reports, two Professional Currency evidence items) suits those without a relevant tertiary qualification.

Where these applications come unstuck

This code sits on STSOL only, with no MLTSSL, so its reach is narrower than most of this family from the outset. A real applicant forum account describes a partner's occupation as sitting on the more restrictive schedule specifically because it was ICT Trainer — consistent with its current list placement. Confirm the current list membership directly before building any plan around this specific code.

An honest read on this pathway

ICT Trainer reaches state nomination, temporary work streams, regional state nomination and the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa on the published data only — no Employer Nomination Scheme, no Skills in Demand visa, no independent 189, no post-study 485. That is a narrower reach than every other code in this family: the three manager codes and Web Administrator all carry at least one employer-sponsored permanent or temporary route, and this one doesn't. State nomination and temporary work are the realistic paths for this occupation today, not an employer-sponsored permanent visa and not an independent points-tested one.

Assembling an ACS application? ACS wants employment evidence that lines up exactly with the dates and duties you claim elsewhere. The Skilled Visa EOI Organiser keeps your claims consistent across the skills assessment, EOI and Form 80 — inconsistencies between them are a common cause of delay.
