• Managers and Administrators;
• Professionals;
• Associate Professionals; and
• Tradespersons and Related Workers.
The ASCO dictionary is available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics website http://www.abs.gov.au/
For each occupation the list shows:
• the name of the occupation;
• the ASCO code of the occupation;
• the relevant skills/qualifications assessing authority for the occupation;
• whether the occupation is included on the SOL for General Skilled Migration, (Y for yes, N for no);
• the number of points for skill allocated for the occupation in the points test (General Skilled Migration only); and • whether the occupation is on the ENSOL the Employer Nomination Scheme (Y for yes, N for no).
General Skilled Migration
Skilled Occupation List (SOL)
If you intend to apply under General Skilled Migration you must have a nominated occupation which is on the SOL at the time you apply.
Offshore General Skilled – (a General Skilled Migration visa which can only be granted while you are outside
Australia) at the time you lodge your application you must provide evidence that you have obtained an assessment from a relevant assessing authority that your skills are suitable for your nominated occupation.
Onshore General Skilled – (a General Skilled Migration visa which can only be granted while you are in Australia) you must make a declaration that you have applied for a skills assessment from a relevant assessing authority for your nominated occupation at the time you lodge your application.
For further information on the requirements for General Skilled Migration, see the department’s website
www.immi.gov.au/skilled/ Employer Nomination Scheme Employer Nomination Scheme Occupation List (ENSOL)
If you are applying under the Employer Nomination Scheme, you must have been nominated by an Australian employer to fill a position in an occupation that appears in the ENSOL.
You must also demonstrate that you have the necessary skills and qualifications to fill the position for which you have been nominated.
You can demonstrate this by:
• working in Australia in the occupation for which you are being nominated for 2 years prior to applying for your ENS visa (including at least the last 12 months with your
nominating employer); or
• have your skills and qualifications assessed as equivalent to the Australian standard by the appropriate assessment authority and, unless exceptional circumstances apply, have 3 years post-qualification experience in the occupation; or
• be nominated for a position which attracts a base salary of at least the salary specified by Gazette Notice for highly paid executive positions. The current minimum salary level is available at www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilledworkers/ens/eligibility.htm
If you wish to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills by obtaining a skills assessment from the assessment authority listed for your occupation on this page (ie. option 2 above), then you must obtain this skills assessment before you lodge your visa application and you must provide it to the department at the time you lodge your visa application.
If you are applying under the Employer Nomination Scheme, and you are required to hold a licence or
registration of any kind in order to work in Australia in your occupation, you can provide evidence that you are eligible to unconditionally hold that licence or registration with your visa application instead of providing a skills assessment from the assessing authority listed on this page.
If you are applying under the Employer Nomination Scheme and you have been nominated to fill a senior
academic or scientific research position by an Australian university or the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), you will not need to have your skills assessed by an assessing authority listed on this page.
If you are applying under the Employer Nomination Scheme and the assessing authority for your occupation is listed as TRA (Trades Recognition Australia), the department will also accept a skills assessment from
the Department of Industrial Relations in the state or territory where you will be working.
For further information on the requirements of the Employer Nomination Scheme, see the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/skilled/ or read booklet 5, Employer Sponsored Migration, which is available from the website or from any office of the department.
Assessing authorities
The assessing authorities are responsible for undertaking skills assessments for migration purposes and are not employment agencies. The assessing authorities will not reply to requests for job placement.
You must contact a relevant assessing authority directly to obtain a skills assessment. They will provide all necessary applications forms and associated information relating to the assessment. There will be a charge for the assessment. The contact details for assessing authorities are listed on pages 15–17 of this form.
An overview of the processing guidelines of some assessing authorities is provided on pages 18–24. Information on processing guidelines is intended as a guide only and the most up to date information can be obtained from the relevant assessing authority.
