Nurse Manager
Health Managers
Visa options for Nurse Manager are set out below. Nurse Manager is not currently listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
Nurse Manager is not on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) published by the Department of Home Affairs, so the Subclass 482 Core Skills stream and the 186 Direct Entry stream are not open on this title. It is on the STSOL, which the Department lists for the 190, 491, 494; the pathways below set out what that supports.

Subclass 494
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional)
Nurse Manager is on the 494 list under ANZSCO 2013 code 254311; a regional employer nominates, and the Subclass 191 permanent visa follows after 3 years without an occupation list of its own.
Subclass 190
Skilled Nominated
Nurse Manager is on the STSOL, so a state or territory can nominate it; each state's own list decides whether it does.
Subclass 491
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)
State or territory nomination for Nurse Manager on the STSOL; family sponsorship applies to MLTSSL occupations only.
Not available for Nurse Manager: 482 Core Skills stream and 186 Direct Entry (not on the CSOL); 189 (not on the MLTSSL). A 186 Temporary Residence Transition nomination needs a 482 already held as Nurse Manager, which off the CSOL means a labour agreement or DAMA rather than the Core Skills stream.
How each visa works: 482, 186, 494, 189, 190, 491, DAMA and skills assessment. Lists: Department of Home Affairs.
