Occupation List for the Murray Region
There have been changes to the 491 skilled regional State nominated visa program.
Applicants must receive an invitation to apply from the NSW Government before submitting an application. Find out more on our How to Apply for a 491 Visa Nomination page.
Occupation List for Stream 1
If you are applying under Stream 1, refer to the combined occupation list on the NSW Government website.
Occupation List for Stream 2 and Stream 3
Applications under Stream 2 and Stream 3 must reference the occupation list for the region that they are wanting to apply to. The skilled occupations for each region will be different, so it is important that you check that your occupation is currently being accepted for our region. This list is updated regularly, and sometimes needs to be changed without notice. Your occupation must be on this list when you submit your application.
It is important that the skilled occupation on your application to the Murray region matches the occupation that is entered into SkillSelect. If these do not match, you cannot be nominated to apply from the NSW Government.
As the occupation list is updated regularly, there may be variances between the list below and the copy provided by the NSW Government.
