On the Regional Occupation List and Core Skills 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 Sales Representative (Industrial Products) 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.

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 Sales Representative (Industrial Products) comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Sales Representative (Industrial Products) sits on ROL and CSOL, reaching three visa subclasses — employer nomination, Skills in Demand sponsorship and skilled employer sponsored regional — with no state nomination, graduate visa or standard regional stream. Its accepted field of study is tied directly to what is sold: "disciplines relevant to the industrial products represented for sale (e.g. Chemistry, Engineering, Machinery)" plus Marketing. Its own page excludes Sales Representative (Medical and Pharmaceutical Products), Technical Sales Representatives nec, and ICT Sales Representative by name.

Where these applications come unstuck

Technical Sales Representatives nec, sitting beside this code, reaches double the visas — six against three — because it additionally carries STSOL. VETASSESS's own exclusion list confirms these are genuinely separate occupations rather than a specific-versus-catch-all choice an applicant gets to make: this code's suitable list does not extend to product categories the nec code accepts, so an applicant cannot simply nominate the nec code instead on the hope of a wider visa reach unless the products actually sold genuinely fall outside this code's own field.

An honest read on this pathway

The product-tied field of study is a genuine, occupation-specific detail: the "right" degree for this code — chemistry, engineering or machinery-adjacent, plus marketing — is likely the wrong one for its sibling Sales Representative (Medical and Pharmaceutical Products), independent of the ANZSCO exclusion rule that already separates the two codes by name. Applicants selling across multiple product categories should check which code their specific goods actually fall under before assuming either applies.

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.
