Other Specialist Manager
Managers
Visa options for Other Specialist Manager are set out below. Other Specialist Manager is not currently listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
Other Specialist Manager is not on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) published by the Department of Home Affairs, so the Subclass 482 Core Skills stream and the 186 Direct Entry stream are not open on this title. It is on the STSOL (LIN 19/051), ROL for the 494 (LIN 19/219), so the 190, 491, 494 are open; the pathways below set out what that supports.

Subclass 494
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional)
Other Specialist Manager is on the 494 lists in LIN 19/219 (ROL item 51, "specialist managers (nec)", ANZSCO 139999); 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
Other Specialist Manager is on the STSOL (LIN 19/051, STSOL item 24), so a state or territory can nominate it; each state's own list decides whether it does. LIN 19/051 excludes work as an ambassador, an archbishop or a bishop (STSOL item 24).
Subclass 491
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)
State or territory nomination for Other Specialist Manager on the STSOL (LIN 19/051, STSOL item 24); family sponsorship applies to MLTSSL occupations only. LIN 19/051 excludes work as an ambassador, an archbishop or a bishop (STSOL item 24).
Not available for Other Specialist Manager: 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 Other Specialist Manager, 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.
