Glazier (ANZSCO 333111)

On the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills 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 Glazier 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 Glazier comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Glazier is assessed through whichever of TRA’s five programs fits the applicant’s passport, training location and target visa, the same structure that governs every trade in this family. TRA’s construction occupations list marks Glazier Prioritised — automatic faster processing at no extra fee or separate application — but not Streamlined, so it does not get the document-only MSA shortcut that Bricklayer, Carpenter and Joiner now carry. That leaves the ordinary decision in place: most offshore applicants use MSA unless their specific occupation-and-country pairing sits on TRA’s separate OSAP occupation and country lists, in which case OSAP through an approved training organisation is the required route instead.

Where these applications come unstuck

The main risk for Glazier is assuming the construction-trade streamlining coverage reported for bricklaying and carpentry extends here — TRA’s own approved list does not include it. Applicants who lodge expecting the simpler shortcut and are routed to OSAP instead lose time they had not planned for. As with the rest of this family, MSA will not accept work experience in place of a formal qualification, and no TRA source reachable here names a specific certificate level for Glazier — an applicant relying on a claimed qualification equivalence should expect that comparison to be checked closely, not assumed.

An honest read on this pathway

Glazier carries the full MLTSSL and CSOL visa spread, including 189 and 485, and benefits from faster prioritised processing like every trade in this family — a genuinely open pathway on the visa side. It simply runs the standard, unshortcut assessment logic that most skilled trades still use. Whether any state or territory glazing licence applies on top of a positive TRA outcome is a separate question TRA explicitly leaves to the applicant to check with the relevant government department before lodging.
