Which (if any) occupation to nominate would depend on your academic and other qualifications and the particulars of your work experience, not your job title.

  I understand that I need to find an ANZSCO description that fits my job role, but as my original posts states, I cannot find one that fits as I am in between a few of them.

Have you searched ANZSCO 253915?

  Yes. This code is regarding pathology. This a medical profession where your job would be to cut up dead people and weigh their organs. I don't do any of that unfortunately... at least         not in my career anyway. 

It might pay you to consult a registered migration agent for an assessment.

  This is the issue. You are a registered migration agent (according to signature), I have told you I am in digital forensics and you have suggested an ANZSCO code around medics and pathology!? This is why I am not paying an agent as my job role and duties does not 'Clearly' fit a particular ANZCO code that I am aware of and no one has heard of 'digital forensics'. I am trying to find a board who will asses my skills and THEN pay for an agent to move things forward for me, however there is no point if I cant find a skills assessment board who will review my skillset or at least that's my understanding of the process?

Sounds cool. All the best with the application.

  Many thanks but I cant put an application in without a skills assessment

A thought would be maybe finding a job before you try to make the move as it sounds as if, like Liam Neeson, you have a particular set of skills.

  I cant. I need a legal right / Visa in order for recruiters and or companies to even consider my application to any vacancies. I don't have a visa because I cant get one,,, therefore I can not apply for work

Hi there, 

Really tricky to answer this question without knowing what you're trying to do or having more details but, on first glance, you may fit into a science-related occupation? Here's the ANZSCO occupation page for science technicians which may be relevant: https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Product+Lookup/1220.0~2013,+Version+1.3~Chapter~UNIT+GROUP+3114+Science+Technicians

If you're looking at employer sponsorship or skilled migration, the occupation will determine what options are available to you. 

It sounds like you're in the UK so, of course, our border restrictions are making things very difficult for people outside Australia to migrate here - the Department needs to be convinced why a travel exemption should be granted and furthermore, how their skillset is critical. 

As I say, it's a little to drill down on suitable occupations without having more information. I'd be interested to hear what other occupations are been floated. 

Good luck!

Cheer Josie for the tech ANZSCO code. I'll email you regarding this! thanks again. 

Surely I cant be the first person to emmigrate to Australia within the field of 'digital forensics'??

dear all on Pomsinoz

I have been in the industry of digital forensics or 10 years now... all based in law enforcement here in the uk.

I have looked through all the anzco codes and nothing really seems to fit. My job description does not fit exactly within the IT sector, there is no assessment for investigation, i am not a police officer and I'm not network/cyber security either... I'm somewhere between all of these.

Does anyone know of anyone who has had been granted a visa through digital forensics or can anyone provide any help at all?

Many thanks and congrats to all who have taken the big step.

Cheers
