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 Information and Organisation Professionals nec 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

Information and Organisation Professionals nec can be assessed by any of these authorities:

What the assessment actually involves

Information and Organisation Professionals nec sits on STSOL and CSOL, reaching six visa subclasses — the same wide reach as several named, specific codes in this family, and wider than several of its own unit group's siblings. Its suitable-occupations list names Electoral Officer, Knowledge Manager, Lobbyist, Museum Registrar, Procurement Specialist, Information Management Co-ordinator and Sales Analyst. VETASSESS's own page requires "a cover letter that justifies the rationale for choosing an 'nec' category" — the general nec safeguard, stated here in this family's own words.

Where these applications come unstuck

The single most easily missed trap in this family sits on this code's own page: its listed suitable title "Electoral Officer" is explicitly flagged as "not to be confused with 224911 Electorate Officer, which is a separate occupation listed in ANZSCO" — one manages a politician's local office, the other oversees elections for an Electoral Commission, and the two sit on codes with very different visa reach, one subclass against six. Beyond that, applicants sometimes reach for this nec code simply because it reaches more visas than a narrower specific code beside it — the cover-letter requirement exists precisely to test whether that reasoning, rather than a genuine fit, is driving the nomination.

An honest read on this pathway

This code genuinely out-reaches several named, specific siblings in its own unit group — Archivist, Policy Analyst, Electorate Officer, Liaison Officer and Migration Agent all reach fewer visas — which makes it a real, sourced option for roles that don't fit any of the named titles cleanly. It is not, however, a shortcut around a narrower code that does fit; the justification cover letter exists to make that distinction explicit before an assessor, not to be filled in as a formality.
