Arboriculture Worker
Horticulture
This page covers Australian visa options for Arboriculture Worker professionals. Arboriculture Worker is not currently listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL). Employer sponsored pathways and alternative migration options may be available.
Arboriculture Worker is an occupation group rather than a single occupation, so the group itself is not a row on the Core Skills Occupation List. All 2 occupations it covers are CSOL-listed, and a skilled visa pathway may be available under that specific title. Assessment is always against the specific occupation — see the list below.
Occupations this page covers
A skills assessment is made against a specific occupation, not against the group, so the first step is identifying which of these 2 applies to you. Those on the Core Skills Occupation List are marked. Where the firm has a page for an occupation, its card links to it.
Visa pathways available for Arboriculture Worker professionals
The following visa options may be available to Arboriculture Worker professionals seeking to work and live in Australia. Eligibility depends on individual qualifications, work experience, and employer circumstances.

If you have been working for an Australian employer for at least two years, you may qualify for permanent residence through direct employer nomination under the Temporary Residence Transition stream.
