Changing Sponsored Occupation

[BeeKay]

Hi Everyone

Could anyone please assist. I am on a sponsored TSS 482 as Internal Auditor with 2.4 years now with same employer.  My degree is in Computer Science and work i do is mostly IT and Cyber Security Audits. I want to apply for 186 DE , but I dont think i will be able to get a skills assessment for Internal Auditor occupation but ICT Security Specialist with ACS. My company is willing to sponsor 186 PR (TRT or DE) but i am not sure if its possible to be sponsored onto a different occupation (other than my current sponsored 482 internal auditor)  if i manage to get a skills assessment in Security Specialist occupation. i have prior experience (outside Australia) which can add up to the minimum requirement (3 years) for DE.

The two occupations you mentioned are classified in two very different and distinct ANZSCO classification groups.

You would be wise to seek professional advice as this is potentially a tricky situation.
