Common Australian Visa application criteria for IT (ICT) Occupations
If your occupation is listed on both the SOL and CSOL, then you may be eligible for Employer Sponsored visas (457, ENS 186 and RSMS 187) and General Skilled Migration (GSM) options (189, 190 and 489).
If your occupation is listed only on the CSOL, then your visa options may be restricted to Employer Sponsored visas and some GSM visas such as the subclass 190 and 489 visas. Most Australian States and Territory Governments do not nominate all IT occupations on the CSOL and each have their own criteria for selection. The individual state and territory nomination requirements are normally much higher than what DIBP requires.
