Property Manager (ANZSCO 612112)

On the Regional 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 Property Manager on?

ROL — Regional Occupation List. Occupations on the ROL are limited to the regional provisional visas — mainly the Skilled Work Regional 491 and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional 494.

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 Property Manager comes from:

What the assessment actually involves

Property Manager is a VETASSESS Group D occupation with a named field of study, Real Estate and Property Management, and it is one of only two codes in the entire real-estate ladder that reaches three visa subclasses (407, 491, 494) rather than one. VETASSESS's own exclusion list rules out Real Estate Agent, Real Estate Representative and Business Broker by name, and Body Corporate Manager is named as a suitable alternative title for the same code.

Where these applications come unstuck

This is the seniority inversion at the centre of this family: Property Manager sits below Real Estate Agent and Real Estate Agency Principal on any commonsense reading of the career ladder, yet it reaches three visas where those more senior titles reach only one. Victoria's own property regulator treats Property Manager and Real Estate Representative work as the SAME unlicensed "agent's representative" tier, so the two-code ANZSCO split does not map onto a real difference in Victorian licensing status even though it changes the visa outcome.

An honest read on this pathway

This is a genuinely wider pathway than the more senior-sounding titles beside it, and worth checking deliberately rather than assuming a licensed, run-the-agency role is always the stronger nomination. No occupation-specific self-employment evidence checklist was found on this page despite property management commonly being run as an independent contractor arrangement, and a positive assessment here still says nothing about whether a given state licenses this specific tier of work the same way it licenses a full estate agent.

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.
