The MLTSSL is the only list that works for a 189 invitation or a family-sponsored 491. An occupation on it can also be used for the 190 and the state-nominated 491.
| Visa | Occupation list fits? |
|---|---|
| 189 Skilled Independent | Yes |
| 190 Skilled Nominated | Yes |
| 491 Skilled Work Regional, state or territory nominated | Yes |
| 491 Skilled Work Regional, family sponsored | Yes |
This only answers whether the occupation is on a list that fits the route. The visa’s other requirements are on each visa page.
