Compare routes by how they work
Visa numbers alone are hard to interpret. Grouping them by applicant goal makes the shortlist easier to understand.
Choose your pathway type
These are occupation-level possibilities, not a personal eligibility result.
What the invitation record shows
Two different scores get called “the minimum”. Here is which is which.
No published invitation record for this occupation. SkillSelect has not published a round result naming it, so there is no lowest-invited score to report.
Takes about two minutes. No obligation.

Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services
VETASSESS decides whether your skills and experience meet the Australian standard for Flight Attendant 451711.
- A skills assessment is tied to the occupation you nominate — the code on this page is what gets assessed, not your job title
- Requirements, fees and timing are set by the assessing authority, not by the Department
- A positive assessment does not by itself produce an invitation or a visa
- Most skilled visa applications need it decided before you lodge, so start early

Employer-led alternatives
Some employers can sponsor workers under an agreement negotiated with the government. Whether one is open to you depends on the employer, the industry and the terms of that agreement.
There is no published list of which occupations each agreement covers, so this page cannot tell you either way. Only the employer holding the agreement can.
Where these skills sit
Related roles may share duties, but a migration assessment is always against the single occupation you nominate.
What applicants usually need clarified
This page names a skills assessing authority. Does that body decide my visa?
No. A skills assessing authority assesses whether your qualifications and experience meet the Australian standard for the occupation, and issues an assessment. The Department of Home Affairs decides the visa. A positive assessment is one requirement among several — it does not create an entitlement to a visa and it does not bind the Department’s decision. Which body assesses a given occupation is set by legislative instrument; it is not a choice you or we make.
This occupation is listed for a visa on this page. Does that mean I qualify for it?
No. A listing means a legislative instrument specifies this occupation for that visa. That is one criterion. Each visa has its own separate requirements — which may include age, English, a skills assessment, nomination or sponsorship, work experience, and in some cases a points score — and those are assessed against your circumstances, not against the occupation. A listing tells you a door exists. It does not tell you that you can walk through it.
Why does this page show two sets of duties, and does the code I nominate matter?
ANZSCO — the occupation classification — has more than one edition, and different migration instruments designate different editions. The Skills in Demand and Employer Nomination instruments specify ANZSCO as in force on 23 November 2022. Both editions appear here because which one applies depends on the instrument governing the visa you are applying for.
The code matters. Visa routes are specified per code, so two codes describing similar work can carry different routes. Establishing the correct code before you apply is not a clerical step.
