    Thanks for your post, Tazneem.

    The ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code for Company Secretary is 221211, and good news, this occupation is eligible for several Australian visa pathways. 🙂

    Company Secretary is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), meaning you may be eligible for:

    • Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) — requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.
    • Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) — also state or territory nominated.
    • Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482) — Short-term stream, employer-sponsored.
    • Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) — Direct Entry stream, employer-sponsored.
    • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) — employer-sponsored.
    • Training visa (subclass 407) — for structured workplace-based training.

    The skills assessing authority is VETASSESS. You’ll need a positive assessment from them for most of the above visas.

    I also covered this topic in detail with another member here. You might find some of the takeaways from this thread useful.

    Finding an Australian employer to sponsor this role can still be challenging, as it’s not a common one for visa sponsorship, but it’s certainly possible under the right circumstances.

    I hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards

    Mark
