ICT Security Specialist in Victoria — nomination overview

ICT Security Specialist (ANZSCO 262112) is eligible for state nomination in Victoria under the Victoria's Skilled Migration program. Victoria's major financial institutions, healthcare networks, retail technology companies, and state government security programs generate strong and growing demand for ICT Security Specialists to protect critical systems and data. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Victoria opens invitations for this occupation. Skills assessment is conducted by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), which evaluates overseas ICT qualifications and security experience, including through the RPL pathway. 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 transitioning to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages. Processing in Victoria typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
