Which skills assessment applies?

ACS is the body shown for Network Analyst (263113). The right body depends on the code, not on which one is faster.

Does a place on the list mean I can get a visa?

No. The list only says the occupation can be nominated. English, age, the skills assessment, points, nomination or a sponsor can still stop the application.

Which visas use this occupation?

The subclasses marked for this code are 190, 491, 482, 186, 494. Each one has its own sponsor, points or nomination rule.

What if my duties are close, but not exact?

A neighbouring occupation is a different code and often a different assessing body. NEC codes in particular have to be checked against the more specific codes first.

Can EMC check the code before I pay for an assessment?

Yes. Bring the duty statement and employment evidence. We match the code before an assessing-body fee is paid.

Can this occupation migrate?

Potentially — if the list, the assessment and the rest of the profile fit.

Network Analyst can be relevant to skilled and employer-sponsored pathways. Your actual options depend on age, English, qualifications, work history, the skills assessment, points, state nomination, and whether an employer can sponsor the position. A place on a list is not a grant.

Potential visa pathways

Start with the pathway type, not only the subclass.

Points-tested

For skilled applicants who may qualify on occupation, skills assessment, points and invitation.

Employer-sponsored

For applicants with an Australian employer willing and able to sponsor an eligible position.

Other pathways

Graduate or training visas may apply depending on your study and current visa. They are not a skilled independent grant.

State nomination

Lists change. We check this year’s program.

Whether Network Analyst is open for 190 or 491 depends on the state, the stream, and the month. NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory each run their own program. Occupation-specific status is checked against the current list — not a screenshot from last year.

Skills assessment

Skills assessment for Network Analyst

The assessment tests whether your qualification and work match this nominated occupation. ACS is the usual authority. Confirm it on the current Home Affairs list before you apply. A suitable outcome is generally required before a points-tested EOI.

How skills assessments work

Points and other factors

The occupation is only the starting point.

Age

Points sit in set age bands. Confirm the current test before you claim a number.

English

Competent English is the usual baseline. Proficient or superior English can add points.

Skilled employment

Work in the nominated or closely related occupation can add points. Dates have to survive a skills assessment.

Qualifications

Recognised qualifications can add points. The assessing authority decides comparability.

Australian study and partner

Australian study, specialist education, partner skills or community language may add points.

Nomination

State nomination (190) or regional nomination (491) can add points. 189 has neither.
