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 Organisation and Methods Analyst 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.

CSOL — Core Skills Occupation List. The employer-sponsorship list — occupations on the CSOL can be nominated for the Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) and the Employer Nomination Scheme 186.

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 Organisation and Methods Analyst comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Organisation and Methods Analyst sits on STSOL and CSOL, reaching six visa subclasses — employer nomination, state nomination, the graduate visa, Skills in Demand sponsorship and both regional streams. VETASSESS's suitable list names Change Management Facilitator, Industry Analyst, Quality Auditor and Skills Auditor. Its exclusion list is long and specific: ICT Business Analyst, Management Consultant, Human Resource Adviser, Recruitment Consultant, Training and Development Professional, Policy Analyst and "Managers" generally — a code deliberately carved out of the broader business-advisory cluster around it rather than a lesser version of Management Consultant.

Where these applications come unstuck

A genuine sourcing quirk worth knowing before it causes confusion: this code's own VETASSESS page cites Management Consultant as "ANZSCO Code 224711," one digit off the 224713 this family's own manifest uses for the same occupation. Whether that is a page typo, a legacy code VETASSESS has not updated, or something else was not established in this research. Separately, the breadth of the exclusion list means applicants moving sideways from HR, policy or training-adjacent roles should not assume their evidence transfers cleanly to this code.

An honest read on this pathway

This code reaches the same six visa subclasses as several of its business-advisory siblings, so the choice between them should be driven by which suitable-occupations list actually matches the work, not by visa breadth — none of the cluster gains an advantage over the others on that measure alone. Its comparatively short, specific suitable list (four named titles) makes it easier to self-check against than the more open-ended codes nearby.

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.
