Contract Administrator — Subclass 190 Pathway

Contract Administrator × Subclass 190 — pathway overview

Contract Administrator (ANZSCO 511111) qualifies for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa as this occupation appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), which underpins eligibility for state and territory nomination. The Subclass 190 is a permanent points-tested visa requiring both a positive skills assessment and a state or territory nomination. Applicants must submit an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect and receive a nomination invitation from a participating state or territory. Each state publishes its own occupation demand criteria and may require applicants to demonstrate genuine ties to that jurisdiction. VETASSESS, the skills assessment authority for this occupation, evaluates qualifications and work experience against Australian standards for the occupation. Key requirements include achieving the minimum 65 points under the points test (competitive thresholds are generally higher), being under 45 years of age, meeting competent English standards (IELTS 6 in each band or equivalent), and committing to live and work in the nominating state for at least two years. State nomination adds five points to the SkillSelect score. Application fees start from approximately $4,640 and processing typically takes eight to fourteen months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
