Scientist on 189

[Bojan 0]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for accepting me into the group. I am looking to emigrate to Australia. I am a biological scientist and I am not sure whether my profession would be on the long-term list and if I would be eligible for 189 independent permanent visa. The two professions that I thought would match my skills are Life Scientist (General) and University Lecturer. I am quite confused as these skills appear on the combined list on the home affairs website but not on the list I found on the Federal Register of Legislation website. I even consulted a solicitor, but she wasn’t very good either so I’m kinda stuck so I’d appreciate any info. Thanks in advance.

You should be consulting a registered agent, not a solicitor.

Actually she is a registered agent, I don’t know why I wrote that she was a solicitor...

It looks like Life Scientist and University Lecturer (and most biological science occupations) are no longer on the list for permanent residence visas and only available short term/regional or if you have a job offer. I got my visa as an R&D Manager through the 190 visa. It’s still on the 190 list, but not sure which states are sponsoring. Medical Researcher also seems to be available for 190 visas

Thanks very much for the reply, I really appreciate. Does that mean that all the occupations on the short term list are eligible for 190 visa, as R&D manager is on this list and missing from MLTSSL? Unfortunately, Life Scientist has been removed from both lists. Cheers.

Short term list are 190 visas or temporary visas. If it’s a 190 visa, you then need to find which States are sponsoring. In my case, only SA and Vic were sponsoring, but I think the occupation has now been taken off the Vic list. Check this list, if the occupation includes 190, then try find which states are sponsoring. I used the second website to do that:
