chris63863 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 In order for an occupation to be eligible for a 489 visa in Victoria, does it have to be on both the occupation list of the department of home affairs and the state's occupation list? If it's only on the list of the home affairs website but not on the Victorian list,is it not eligible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Generally, yes. If you want to be sponsored by a state, then it has to be on that states list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply.If a relative sponsors you for a regional 489 visa,does the occupation still have to be on the state's list as well?Or only on the home affairs list?

wrussell Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I have had applicants invited whose skilled occupation was not on the relevant state list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If you're sponsored by a relative, your occupation has to be on the MLTSSL. It doesn't have to be on any state's list because you aren't being sponsored by a state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
