Subclass 494
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional)
Financial Broker is on the 494 lists in LIN 19/219 (ROL item 117, "financial brokers (nec)", ANZSCO 222199); a regional employer nominates, and the Subclass 191 permanent visa follows after 3 years without an occupation list of its own.
Subclass 190
Skilled Nominated
Financial Broker is on the STSOL (LIN 19/051, STSOL item 51), so a state or territory can nominate it; each state's own list decides whether it does.
Subclass 491
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)
State or territory nomination for Financial Broker on the STSOL (LIN 19/051, STSOL item 51); family sponsorship applies to MLTSSL occupations only.
Not available for Financial Broker: 482 Core Skills stream and 186 Direct Entry (not on the CSOL); 189 (not on the MLTSSL in LIN 19/051). A 186 Temporary Residence Transition nomination needs a 482 already held as Financial Broker, which off the CSOL means a labour agreement or DAMA rather than the Core Skills stream.
How each visa works: 482, 186, 494, 189, 190, 491, DAMA and skills assessment. Costs: employer sponsorship cost and visa cost estimator. Lists: Department of Home Affairs.
