The position must be an occupation on the 457 List which is called the Consolidated Skilled Occupation List. (insert link to the list).

Not all occupations can be sponsored for a 457, so it is very important to determine if the position you want to go ahead with is eligible for approval.

  1. Developer Programmer
  2. Cook
  3. Café or Restaurant Manager

  5. Software Engineer
  6. ICT Business Analyst

  10. Resident Medical Officer
  11. Chef
  12. Sales and Marketing Manager
  13. Accountant (General)

If the occupation to be nominated is not on the Skilled Occupation Lists then a Labour Agreement will be required. You can always speak to Work Visa Lawyers if you need to clarify the occupation or to learn more about Labour Agreements.
