About the occupation lists

What are the MLTSSL, STSOL, ROL and CSOL?

They are the Department of Home Affairs’ skilled occupation lists. The MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List, 216 occupations) opens the Skilled Independent visa (189) as well as the 190 and 491. The STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List, 216) and ROL (Regional Occupation List, 220) are used for state-nominated and regional visas. The CSOL (Core Skills Occupation List, 458) is for employer sponsorship through the 482 and 186.

Is my occupation eligible for the 189 visa?

Only occupations on the MLTSSL can be used for the 189. Search your occupation above: the 189 column shows whether it can, and the last column shows the lowest points score invited in the 15 October 2026 round (159 occupations were invited). Being on the list does not guarantee an invitation.

How often do the lists change?

Home Affairs updates the lists through legislative instruments, usually a few times a year. AusVisaClock reads the department’s list regularly; this copy was taken on 12 November 2026. Always check the department’s page before you lodge an EOI or application.
