Electrical Engineering Draftsperson — Victoria Nomination

Electrical Engineering Draftsperson in Victoria — nomination overview

Electrical Engineering Draftsperson (ANZSCO 312311) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Victoria under the Victorian Skilled Nominated scheme. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Victoria opens invitations for this occupation. Victoria uses a competitive points-based Expression of Interest system, with additional priority given to applicants with Victorian employment or qualifications. Skills assessment from EA is required, covering qualifications and work experience against Australian occupational standards, with emphasis on electrical drafting, schematic drawing, single-line diagrams, and wiring layout documentation. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, which requires three years of regional residence before transitioning to the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Victoria typically takes several weeks to three months, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
