Electrician (General) in Victoria — nomination overview
Electrician (General) (ANZSCO 341111) is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Victoria under the Victorian Skilled Nominated program. Victoria has strong demand for electricians in residential developments, commercial fitouts, and renewable energy projects across Greater Melbourne and regional Victoria. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Victoria opens nominations; Victoria applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and documented occupational experience. Skills assessment is conducted by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. MLTSSL listing opens three pathways: the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent visa (independent), the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent on grant), and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa requiring three years of regional residence before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages; processing in Victoria typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
