On the Short-term Skilled 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 Health Diagnostic and Promotion 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

A positive skills assessment for Health Diagnostic and Promotion Professionals nec comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Health Diagnostic and Promotion Professionals nec is VETASSESS's catch-all for this cluster of health-adjacent occupations, and it carries a genuine limit built into how nec codes are assessed: "For nec occupations, VETASSESS conducts a case-by-case assessment to determine whether the employment can be considered highly relevant to the classification. However, if an applicant's employment is highly relevant to another ANZSCO occupation, the same period of employment cannot be assessed suitably against an nec classification, regardless of whether the occupation is available for migration purposes or not." This code reaches STSOL plus CSOL and six visas including 186 and 482 — genuinely more than its own named sibling, Health Promotion Officer, which sits on STSOL alone.

Where these applications come unstuck

The trap this code invites, and the one VETASSESS's own case-by-case rule exists to close, is nominating the nec catch-all specifically because it reaches more visas than the named, specific occupation your actual experience matches. VETASSESS states this cannot be done: employment that fits a specific code cannot be redirected to the nec classification purely because the nec code has broader migration access. An applicant whose reference letter genuinely describes work that does not fit any of the family's named codes has a legitimate route here — but one whose work does fit Health Promotion Officer, or another specific code, will not be permitted to nominate this one instead.

An honest read on this pathway

This code's list strength — STSOL plus CSOL, six visas including 186 and 482 — is real, but it is only available to applicants whose actual work does not match a more specific named occupation. VETASSESS's case-by-case principle for nec assessment applies the same way across every nec code in this family, including the complementary-health nec cluster, so the same caution applies wherever a broader catch-all code sits beside a narrower named sibling. This guide did not find, and did not attempt to confirm, any registration or licensing requirement for this nec code specifically — none is named on the page reviewed, and none should be assumed.

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.
