Which lists is Roof Plumber 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 Roof Plumber comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Roof Plumber is one of the six current codes in ANZSCO unit group 3341 Plumbers, alongside Airconditioning and Mechanical Services Plumber, Drainer, Gasfitter, Plumber (General) and Fire Protection Plumber, sharing the same full MLTSSL/CSOL visa spread as most of the group. Whether NSW, Queensland, Victoria or WA licence roof plumbing as its own named category the way NSW names plumbing, draining, gasfitting and air-conditioning services, or fold it under a broader plumbing licence, was not separately confirmed in this research — the state pages fetched named those four categories specifically and did not break out roofing.

Where these applications come unstuck

The risk specific to this code is assuming its narrower-sounding scope — roof work rather than general plumbing — means a lighter licensing bar. Nothing in the state material fetched for this family supports that; NSW's overseas-applicants page treats the licensed plumbing trades as a group requiring the same recognition process regardless of specialisation, and there is no indication roof plumbing sits outside that group. Confirming exactly which licence category covers roof plumbing, state by state, is a gap this research left open rather than a settled answer.

An honest read on this pathway

Roof Plumber reaches the full eight-visa spread on MLTSSL and CSOL, matching most of the plumbing family. This research could not confirm state-specific licensing detail for roof plumbing the way it could for general electrical and the NSW-named plumbing trades — treat the licensing step as real and separate from the skills assessment, consistent with every other trade in this family, but check the specific licence category with the relevant state regulator rather than assuming it mirrors general plumbing exactly.
