Occupations that can be nominated for the Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186)

Permanent, employer sponsored. 457 of the 691 occupations on Australia's skilled lists can be nominated for this visa. Being on this page means the occupation is nominatable — every visa still has its own requirements: a positive skills assessment, points and an invitation for the points-tested visas, a sponsoring employer or state for the sponsored ones.
