Actuary in Victoria — nomination overview
Actuary (ANZSCO 224111) is listed on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and Combined Skilled Occupation List (CSOL), making it eligible for state nomination in Victoria under Victoria's Skilled and Business Migration program. SkillSelect applicants with a valid Expression of Interest may receive an invitation during Victoria's nomination rounds. Victoria nominates Actuaries to support financial services, insurance, superannuation, and risk management sectors, particularly across Melbourne's established business and finance hub. The Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa is the permanent pathway available through Victoria; the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa is not offered by Victoria. A successful nomination adds five points to the applicant's SkillSelect score. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, which evaluates qualifications and work experience in actuarial science and related disciplines against Australian standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test. Health and character requirements apply. Nomination processing in Victoria typically takes four to ten weeks. Standard visa fees are then payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
