ICT Business Analyst × Subclass 190 — pathway overview
ICT Business Analysts (ANZSCO 261111) can apply for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa. This occupation is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), and several Australian state and territory governments nominate ICT business analysts in recognition of technology sector skill shortages. State nomination adds five points to the applicant's score. Each state has specific nomination criteria, including minimum work experience, English language thresholds, and residency commitments. Technology-focused states like New South Wales and Victoria have active programs for ICT professionals. Applicants should review each state's nomination criteria and current occupation lists. A positive ACS skills assessment is required before lodging an EOI. After state nomination and receiving a SkillSelect invitation, the 190 visa is lodged with the Department of Home Affairs. English proficiency, health, and character checks are all mandatory. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
