Hi Jay, and welcome to our community. 🙂
To give you the best guidance, I need to know your specific occupation. Could you share your job title or field of expertise?
Australia has different occupation lists:
Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) – Allows pathways to permanent residency.
Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) – Suitable for temporary work visas like the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa but with limited permanent residency options.
Regional Occupation List (ROL) – Provides opportunities in designated regional areas.
Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) – A special scheme for regional areas with relaxed requirements for certain jobs.
If your occupation is on one of these lists, employer sponsorship is possible. Let me know your job role, and I’ll check the most suitable visa options for you!
Looking forward to your response. In the interim, I’d also encourage you to review the exchanges in other posts and connect to other members who also share a similar background by viewing the search results for here.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Jay,
It’s great news that the ICT Security Specialist (ANZSCO 262112) is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). This means you have several visa options, including employer-sponsored and independent skilled migration pathways.
Visa Options for You
1. Employer-Sponsored PathwaysSince your occupation is on the MLTSSL, you are eligible for:
- Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Medium-Term Stream)
- Requires an employer willing to sponsor you.
- Can be renewed indefinitely while working with the sponsor.
- Provides a pathway to permanent residency via the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa after three years.
- Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Direct Entry Stream)
- Requires employer sponsorship but grants permanent residency (PR) immediately.
- Requires a skills assessment and at least three years of relevant work experience.
2. Independent or State-Sponsored Pathways
Since your occupation is on the MLTSSL, you may also consider:
- Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa (No state or employer sponsorship required)
- Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa (Requires state nomination but provides PR)
- Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Requires regional state nomination but provides a PR pathway)
Suggested Next Steps
- Check Job Opportunities
- Explore 482jobs.com for employer-sponsored jobs (all listings confirm visa sponsorship).
- Use Seek and Indeed but filter for “visa sponsorship.”
- Get a Skills Assessment
- ICT Security Specialists need a skills assessment from the Australian Computer Society (ACS): https://www.acs.org.au
- Prepare for English Proficiency Tests
- Most visas require an IELTS (minimum 6.0 in each band) or equivalent test like PTE or TOEFL.
- Check State Nomination Options (If Considering PR)
- Some states may offer extra points or sponsorship for Subclass 190 or 491 visas.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
