Skills assessment
For ICT Business Analyst, the assessing authority for migration purposes is ACS.
ICT Business Analyst in New South Wales — nomination overview
ICT Business Analyst (ANZSCO 261111) is eligible for state nomination in New South Wales under the NSW Skilled Nominated Migration Program. NSW is Australia's largest technology market, with strong demand for ICT Business Analysts across financial services, government, healthcare, and professional services sectors based in Sydney and regional centres. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once NSW opens invitations for this occupation. Skills assessment is conducted by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), which evaluates overseas ICT qualifications and work experience against Australian professional standards. ACS assesses both formal qualifications and self-taught or employer-delivered skills. English language proficiency and health and character requirements apply. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Government fees apply at both the nomination and visa application stages. Processing in NSW typically takes several weeks to two months depending on application volumes. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
