CSOL

A newer ANZSCO code (added 2022) that sits on CSOL only, supporting the employer-sponsored 482 and 186. Not on MLTSSL or STSOL, so it does not currently open the points-tested 189, 190, or 491, and no state nominates this exact code.

List membership changes over time and does not guarantee an invitation. See the skilled occupation lists guide and the points calculator before relying on this for a visa decision.

Admissions

Entry and credit load depend on prior study: a related bachelor's degree plus two years' relevant work experience, a related bachelor honours degree, or a related graduate certificate/diploma gives admission credit and a 1-year full-time course (8 credit points); any bachelor's degree without related experience requires the full 2-year, 16-credit-point course
