Industrial Engineer — Subclass 190 Pathway

Industrial Engineer × Subclass 190 — pathway overview

Industrial Engineers (ANZSCO 233511) are eligible for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, a points-tested permanent residence visa that requires nomination from an Australian state or territory government. This occupation is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which supports eligibility for the 190 pathway and state-sponsored permanent migration. Applicants must first lodge an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect and receive a state nomination invitation. Each state and territory sets its own nomination criteria, occupation lists, and additional requirements. State nomination adds five points to an applicant's total score, which may be decisive in competitive invitation rounds. A positive skills assessment from Engineers Australia is required before lodging an EOI. Industrial Engineers typically apply through the CDR pathway or via recognised qualification exemptions under agreements such as the Washington Accord. English language proficiency at Competent level or above is mandatory, with higher proficiency attracting additional points. Government visa fees are approximately AUD 4,640 for the primary applicant. Nomination fees vary by state. Processing time is generally six to twelve months from invitation. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
