Real Estate Representative (ANZSCO 612115)
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 Real Estate Representative 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).
- Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) — Provisional, regional, points-tested · all occupations for the 491
- Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) — Provisional, regional employer sponsored · all occupations for the 494
- Training visa (subclass 407) — Temporary, workplace training · all occupations for the 407
Processing priority
Real Estate Representative isn't in any of the ANZSCO groups that Directions 121 and 122 list for the priority sectors. Some of the first group is defined by the job rather than the code: a nominated position directly involved in agriculture, aquaculture or fishing, one that directly supports mining, oil and gas or coal production, or one related to defence. Otherwise the application is processed after the priority sectors. For the permanent and provisional skilled visas, applicants who were in Australia when they applied come next, then those who applied from outside Australia. For the 482, Specialist Skills stream applications come before both.
Priority changes the order in which lodged applications are looked at, not whether they are granted. Who is invited to apply through SkillSelect is decided separately. See all 202 occupations in the priority sectors.

What the assessment actually involves
Real Estate Representative is a VETASSESS Group D occupation reaching three visa subclasses (407, 491, 494), matching Property Manager as the two widest-reaching codes in the real-estate ladder. VETASSESS's own page states the defining feature directly: Real Estate Representatives "may not hold an estate agent's licence (yet), as they work under the supervision of a licensed Real Estate Agent" — an explicitly junior, supervised role by VETASSESS's own description, with Real Estate Salesperson, Real Estate Subagent and Property Portfolio Officer named as suitable alternative titles.
Where these applications come unstuck
It excludes Real Estate Agency Principal, Property Manager and Business Broker by name, so an applicant whose actual duties included any agency-management or business-broking work is nominating the wrong code here. Victoria's Consumer Affairs regulator treats this role and Property Manager as the same unlicensed "agent's representative" tier of state licence, which does not mirror VETASSESS treating them as two separate ANZSCO codes — useful to know before assuming a Victorian licence category settles which code to nominate.
An honest read on this pathway
Despite being VETASSESS's own description of a supervised, not-yet-licensed role, this code reaches more visas than the licensed titles above it in the ladder — a genuinely counterintuitive result worth checking before assuming a more senior-sounding title is the stronger nomination. An applicant working under supervision overseas should not automatically upgrade their own title to Real Estate Agent when nominating, since that narrows rather than widens what the nomination reaches.
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.
