Occupations for the subclass 407 training visa: LIN 19/050

The Migration (LIN 19/050: Specification of Occupations–Subclass 407 Visa) Instrument 2019 was made on 5 March 2019 by the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs under paragraph 2.72B(3)(b) of the Migration Regulations 1994 (section 3). It commenced on 11 March 2019 and repealed IMMI 18/050 (section 11). This page describes Compilation No. 1, in force from 14 December 2024, which includes amendments to sections 6 and 7 made by Schedule 6 to LIN 24/083 (Endnotes 3 and 4).

The explanatory statement, written for the instrument as made, says it operates to specify the skilled occupations for an application, or proposed application, for a subclass 407 (Training) visa, allocated across three lists, and that its purpose is to update the occupations on those lists after labour market advice from the Department of Jobs and Small Business. It records that 27 occupations were taken off the Short-term Skilled Occupation List at that time.

The three lists

Section 6 specifies every occupation on any of the three lists, with its 6-digit ANZSCO code. An occupation applies to the holder of, or applicant or proposed applicant for, a subclass 407 visa if the tasks to be performed correspond to the tasks in that code (section 6(c)).

Occupation lists in Compilation No. 1

List	Section	Occupations
Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List	7	216
Regional Occupation List	8	77
Short-term Skilled Occupation List	9	216

Each table has two columns: occupation and ANZSCO code. No ANZSCO code appears on more than one list, so the three lists hold 509 occupations between them. The lists begin with chief executive or managing director (111111), aquaculture farmer (121111) and flower grower (121212) respectively. Some entries carry carve-outs in the occupation column itself: item 24 of the Short-term Skilled Occupation List is specialist managers (nec) except ambassador, archbishop or bishop. Section 7(2) excludes item 13 of the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List where the position is an exotic dancer. The full lists are in the instrument.

Which applications it applies to

Section 10 applies the instrument to an application for approval of a nomination made on or after 11 March 2019. Under section 11, IMMI 18/050, as in force immediately before that day, continues to apply to a nomination application made before it.
