Web Administrator (ANZSCO 313113)

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 Web Administrator 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 Web Administrator comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

ACS assesses Web Administrator under the same Migration Skills Assessment framework. Its own duty text: designs, builds and maintains websites, and provides web technology solutions and services — an infrastructure, hosting and deployment framing rather than a visual-design one. General Skills (10-year lookback anchored to submission date, overlapping roles counted once) suits experienced applicants; RPL (six years' experience, two Project Reports, two Professional Currency evidence items) suits those without a relevant tertiary qualification.

Where these applications come unstuck

The real trap here is authority, not duties. ANZSCO 232414 Web Designer sounds interchangeable but is assessed by VETASSESS, not ACS — a different portal, a different fee, and different evidence (a design portfolio rather than ACS's reference-letter and payment-evidence model), with no transferability between the two if the wrong one is chosen. The honest test is the day-to-day work: server, CMS and deployment work points to Web Administrator; navigation, colour and layout work points to Web Designer. A real applicant forum account lists this code among options considered before concluding it wasn't on that year's independent-visa list, consistent with its current reach.

An honest read on this pathway

Web Administrator carries STSOL and CSOL, reaching the Employer Nomination Scheme, state nomination, temporary work streams, the Skills in Demand visa, regional state nomination and the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa — a genuinely broad reach, matching ICT Project Manager and ICT Managers nec, and wider than Chief Information Officer's despite CIO sitting on the higher MLTSSL. What's missing is the independent 189 and the post-study 485; neither is shown on the published data for this code, so an applicant relying on independent migration or a post-study route specifically for this occupation should verify the current position directly rather than assume the broad reach elsewhere in this family extends that far.

Assembling an ACS application? ACS wants employment evidence that lines up exactly with the dates and duties you claim elsewhere. The Skilled Visa EOI Organiser keeps your claims consistent across the skills assessment, EOI and Form 80 — inconsistencies between them are a common cause of delay.
