Intensive Care Ambulance Paramedic (ANZSCO 411112)

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 Intensive Care Ambulance Paramedic 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 Intensive Care Ambulance Paramedic comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

VETASSESS classifies Intensive Care Ambulance Paramedic as a Group A occupation, stating directly: "This occupation requires a qualification assessed as comparable to the educational level of an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Bachelor degree or higher, in a field highly relevant to the nominated occupation." That Bachelor-level bar is what separates this code from its Diploma-level sibling, Ambulance Officer — a genuine qualification-tier split, not a difference in seniority or task description. This code sits on STSOL plus CSOL, reaching six visas including 186 and 482, identical to Ambulance Officer's list position despite the higher qualification bar underneath.

Where these applications come unstuck

Because both ambulance codes reach the exact same six visas, the risk with this code is entirely about qualification-tier accuracy rather than list access. A genuinely Bachelor-qualified paramedic who nominates the Diploma-level Ambulance Officer code instead is under-nominating for no visa benefit, since the list reach does not change either way — but a Diploma-level applicant who nominates this Bachelor-level code risks an unsuccessful assessment, since VETASSESS's Group A bar for this occupation is explicit about the qualification level required. Get the tier right for its own sake, not because one code opens more visas than the other.

An honest read on this pathway

This code's visa reach — STSOL plus CSOL, six visas including 186 and 482 — matches Ambulance Officer's exactly, so the Bachelor-level qualification bar is the only thing this code asks that its Diploma-level sibling does not. This guide could not confirm whether Intensive Care Ambulance Paramedic work carries an AHPRA registration requirement through the Paramedicine Board of Australia — that Board's own site could not be reached in this research despite being reachable earlier in the same session, and VETASSESS's own occupation page for this code names no registration body at all. Confirm the registration position directly with the Paramedicine Board before assuming a VETASSESS outcome alone is sufficient to work.

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.
