Employer Nomination Scheme Occupation List (ENSOL)

To apply under the ENS an overseas skilled worker must have been nominated by an Australian employer to fill a position in an occupation that appears on the ENSOL. In addition he/she must be able to demonstrate that they have the necessary skills/qualifications/work experience for the nominated position.

There are numerous ways this can be done including:

• Working in the nominated occupation for 2 years prior to applying for the ENS visa (the last 12 months of which must have been with nominating employer) OR
• Gaining a positive skills assessment for migration purposes from the appropriate Skills Assessing Body for the nominated occupation (must provide original positive skills assessment letter with ENS visa application). In addition he/she must also hold at least 3 years post qualification work experience in this nominated occupation OR
• Or be nominated for a position which has a base salary of AU$165,000.00 (excluding superannuation and allowances)

Certain nominated occupations for ENS purposes also require the visa applicant to hold a licence or registration in order to work in Australia. In such cases an applicant can provide evidence that he/she is eligible to unconditionally hold that licence or registration with the visa application instead of gaining a positive skills assessment in the nominated occupation.
