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 Endocrinologist on?

MLTSSL — Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List. The widest list — occupations on the MLTSSL can access the points-tested permanent skilled visas including the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), which needs no state nomination or employer.

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 Endocrinologist comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Endocrinology sits directly on RACP's own published list of 26 assessable subspecialties — one of the more literal name matches in this family, alongside Gastroenterology and Rheumatology. Assessment follows RACP's standard structure: a Standard interview-based pathway averaging up to six months, or an Accelerated paper-based pathway restricted to applicants with a named-equivalent qualification from the UK, Ireland, India, Hong Kong or Sri Lanka, averaging around six weeks. RACP, not the Medical Board directly, runs both processes and reaches the comparability finding.

Where these applications come unstuck

Applicants outside the five Accelerated countries sometimes assume they can request the faster route anyway; RACP moves applicants onto Accelerated based on its own review, not on request, and can also move an Accelerated applicant back to Standard if the paper review surfaces gaps. A second common error is treating UK Membership of the Royal College of Physicians as equivalent to Fellowship — RACP states this explicitly is not an acceptable specialist qualification on its own.

An honest read on this pathway

The three comparability outcomes carry real supervised-practice weight regardless of which pathway an applicant used to get there: up to twelve months FTE for substantially comparable, up to twenty-four for partially comparable, and a "not comparable" finding sends the applicant back to explore other IMG pathways or RACP Basic Training from the start. RACP publishes the criteria; it does not publish a shortcut past the supervised-practice component itself.

Whichever authority assesses you, the paperwork is the part applicants underestimate. The Document Vault keeps a single register of every document, what it was needed for, and what is still missing.
