Each list is a table of occupations (with ANZSCO codes) and those occupations are declared to be \"skilled occupations\" for the visa applicant classes the instrument covers (s7(3)–(6)).\n\n- It specifies, by occupation, which assessing body should do a skills assessment for applicants from any country (s10AA and s11). Some occupations have more than one acceptable assessing authority (for example, accounting occupations: CPAA, CAANZ or IPA) while many trades and technical occupations are allocated to Trades Recognition Australia or VETASSESS (see s10AA and the mapping table in s11).\n\n- It contains timing and transitional rules about when the lists and assessor assignments apply to particular visa invitations and applications, and preserves the effect of the previous instrument for people who fell under that earlier regime (see Part 3, especially ss12–15, 16–17).\n\n\nWho this affects\n\n- Migrant applicants for several skilled visa subclasses who rely on a skills assessment or an invitation to apply: principally Subclass 189 (Skilled—Independent), Subclass 190 (Skilled—Nominated), Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)), and Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) (see s7 and s15).\n\n- Employers, state/territory nomination agencies and migration agents who guide applicants, because the occupation lists and the identity of the required assessing authority determine whether an applicant can meet the \"skills assessment\" component of a visa application.\n\n- The assessing bodies named in the instrument (professional bodies, accreditation councils, VETASSESS, TRA, ACS, Engineers Australia, etc.), because the instrument assigns them statutory responsibility (and associated workload and fee income) for immigration skills assessments for particular occupations.\n\n\nWhy it matters (practical consequences)\n\n- Whether an applicant’s occupation appears on the MLTSSL, STSOL or ROL determines which visa streams they can pursue and the points and regional rules that apply (s7(3)–(6)). The list an applicant’s occupation appears on affects eligibility, points, and sometimes the length or conditions of the visa pathway.\n\n- The instrument fixes which organisation will assess an applicant’s overseas qualifications and employment for immigration purposes (s10AA and s11). Applicants must obtain the correct type of skills assessment from the specified authority; an assessment from the wrong authority can make a visa application invalid or delayed.\n\n- The timing rules and amendments (Part 3, ss12–17) create procedural incentives for applicants about when to submit a skills assessment or accept an invitation: in some circumstances earlier assessments (or older invitations) are preserved under the earlier instrument; in others, new assessor assignments apply regardless of when the assessment was completed (see s15(2)–(3)).\n\n\nMechanisms, costs and incentives (testing the purpose-claims)\n\n- Who pays: Individuals (migrant applicants) pay fees for skills assessments; named assessing authorities also incur administrative costs in delivering assessments (see s10AA and s11 for the bodies assigned). There is no new direct government fee in this instrument, but it changes which private/industry bodies receive assessing fees.\n\n- Who decides: The instrument is an administrative specification that assigns occupations and assessing authorities; it does not change visa eligibility rules in the Migration Regulations themselves but implements those rules by identifying occupations and assessors (see authority references in s3 and the operative provisions in s7 and s10AA).\n\n- Behavioural effects and compliance burden: Applicants and agents must check both (a) which list their occupation appears on and (b) which assessing body they must use. Changes to assessing authority assignments can require applicants to obtain a fresh assessment if they were relying on a previous authority, increasing cost and delay risk (see transitional rules in ss13–15).\n\n- Concentrated benefits and capture risk: Assigning particular professional bodies as the statutory assessing authority concentrates assessment work (and fee revenue) with named organisations. That creates a predictable commercial benefit to those organisations; the instrument does not itself explain selection criteria, so the possibility of concentrated benefits exists (see mapping in s10AA and s11).\n\n- Substitution and timing incentives: Because the instrument contains detailed transitional rules (for example, continued application of IMMI 18/051 for some invitations (s13) and special rules about when amendment packages apply to assessments made before or after commencement days (s14–s17)), applicants may time their skills assessments or visa applications to rely on a preferred assessing authority or on an older list. The instrument explicitly preserves older arrangements in limited windows to avoid retrospective disadvantage (s13–s15).\n\n- Implementation risk: Administratively, the Department must ensure online systems and guidance reflect which body is the correct assessor for each occupation and at which date the change applies. Mismatches between system assignment and the instrument's transitional conditions (for example, assessments dated on or before a threshold date) are a practical source of errors and appeals (see s15 and s17).\n\n\nKey cross-references and notable exceptions\n\n- The instrument operates by reference to provisions of the Migration Regulations 1994 (listed in s3). The occupations specified are applied to particular visa regulation hooks (see s7(3)–(6)).\n\n- There is a narrow exception for item 9 in the MLTSSL: \"dancer or choreographer\" does not apply where the position is an exotic dancer (s8(2)).\n\n- Several later instruments and schedules amend assessor assignments and the lists; the instrument contains specific saving and application rules for those amendments (see ss14–17).\n\n\nPractical checklist for an affected applicant\n\n- Check which list (MLTSSL, STSOL, ROL) your ANZSCO occupation appears on — see s8–10.\n- Check which assessing authority is specified for your occupation — see s10AA and s11.\n- Confirm the dates: whether your invitation or visa application or skills assessment falls inside a preserved window under the transitional provisions (ss12–17).\n- If you have an existing skills assessment, check whether it remains valid for your application under the transitional rules (s13 and s15).\n\n(References in parentheses are to the section numbers of the instrument.)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-lin-19-051-specification-of-occupations-and-relevant-assessing-authorities-instrument-2019","history":"/api/acts/migration-lin-19-051-specification-of-occupations-and-relevant-assessing-authorities-instrument-2019/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-lin-19-051-specification-of-occupations-and-relevant-assessing-authorities-instrument-2019/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-lin-19-051-specification-of-occupations-and-relevant-assessing-authorities-instrument-2019/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-lin-19-051-specification-of-occupations-and-relevant-assessing-authorities-instrument-2019/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-lin-19-051-specification-of-occupations-and-relevant-assessing-authorities-instrument-2019/documents"}}
