To clarify:
1. The current instrument that sets out eligible RSMS occupations is IMMI 15/083. This will be updated next week. Generally, occupations that are skill level 1-3 are considered eligible for RSMS applications. Note - an occupation's Unit Group (the first four digits of its ANZSCO code) does not always indicate the skill level e.g Project Administrator is Unit Group 5111 but is a Level 2 occupation.
2. Child Care Group Leader is a specialisation of Child Care Worker (ANZSCO 421111). You can see this on the ANZSCO description on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) website. While Child Care Worker is a Level 4 occupation, Child Care Group Leader is a Level 2 occupation and, therefore, is eligible for the 187 RSMS visa - and has been for some time.
3. A Level 2 occupation requires the applicant to hold a relevant qualification equivalent to an Australian Diploma or higher.
