Victoria’s priority occupations
101 occupations across four priority industries. Registrations of Interest are ranked within each industry or subgroup as well as across the whole pool — so these are the people you are actually compared against.
An occupation that is not on this list is still eligible. It is ranked in the open pool only, through the “most competitive” stream. The list also decides partner points: those apply only if your partner’s occupation appears here.
