Liaison Officer (ANZSCO 224912)

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 Liaison Officer 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 Liaison Officer comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Liaison Officer sits on ROL, reaching three visa subclasses: the graduate visa and both regional streams, with no employer-sponsorship or state-nomination route. VETASSESS's own page excludes, by name, Migration Agent/Immigration Consultant, Information and Organisation Professionals nec, and Customer Service Manager — a specific, deliberate boundary against three otherwise plausible-sounding neighbouring titles. Public Relations Professional's own page independently excludes Liaison Officer in return, making this the one fully bidirectional, cross-unit-group exclusion pair found anywhere in this family.

Where these applications come unstuck

The exclusion of Migration Agent/Immigration Consultant is worth taking seriously on its own terms: liaison-type work that touches immigration processes, government relations or case coordination is explicitly not the same occupation as 224913 Migration Agent, and nominating this code instead does not sidestep the separate OMARA registration requirement that applies to giving actual immigration assistance. The bidirectional exclusion with PR Professional also means an applicant genuinely doing public-relations-style liaison work should check that code first rather than defaulting here.

An honest read on this pathway

Three subclasses, all regional-or-graduate, is a narrower reach than several adjacent business-professional codes, and this code carries no path to state nomination or employer sponsorship at all. It is a workable, well-defined pathway for genuine liaison and coordination roles, provided the applicant's evidence doesn't lean on immigration-related or PR-style duties that VETASSESS's own exclusion lists steer toward different codes — the bidirectional link with Public Relations Professional in particular is worth checking before assembling evidence either way.

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.
