Based on official sources: Current skilled occupation instrumentCurrent occupation-list position
The current occupation instrument places ICT Business Analyst 261111 on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). The same instrument sets the assessing authority as Australian Computer Society (ACS). Occupation lists and assessing authorities can change, and state nomination programs apply additional filters.
Choose the code from duties, not title
ICT Business Analyst focuses on analysing business needs and specifying ICT system requirements. Systems Analyst 261112 is a separate occupation. A “Business Analyst” title can also describe non-ICT work, so select the code from the actual duties and the assessment rules, not the title alone.

Skills assessment comes before the visa decision
Read Australian Computer Society (ACS)’s current pathway and evidence rules before lodging. A positive skills assessment confirms the assessment outcome for the nominated occupation; it does not itself award a visa, state nomination or invitation. Keep qualification, employment, remuneration and duty evidence consistent across the assessment, EOI and visa application.
Visa pathways
Potential routes may include the 189 points-tested stream, 190, state- or family-nominated 491, and an employer-sponsored option where the occupation and role meet that program’s current rules. Each route has separate age, English, skills, points, nomination or sponsorship conditions.

Points and demand claims
A score of 65 is a legal threshold for points-tested visas, not a guaranteed invitation score. State selection is discretionary. Salary advertisements, vacancy counts and broad labour-shortage commentary do not prove visa eligibility or predict an invitation. Use published invitation or nomination data only with its date, visa subclass and occupation clearly stated.
Official references: Current skilled occupation instrument; Home Affairs skilled occupation list. Recheck the live source immediately before lodging or paying because rules, fees and published data can change.
Use the verified rules above as the starting point, then test the dates, evidence and points that apply to your profile with NovenAI. A calculator or estimate is not an invitation, nomination or visa decision.
