Visa options for Funeral Worker are set out below. Funeral Worker is not currently listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).

Subclass 494
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional)
Funeral Worker is on the 494 list under ANZSCO 2013 code 451399; a regional employer nominates, and the Subclass 191 permanent visa follows after 3 years without an occupation list of its own.
Subclass 491
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)
State or territory nomination for Funeral Worker on the ROL; family sponsorship applies to MLTSSL occupations only.
Not available for Funeral Worker: 482 Core Skills stream and 186 Direct Entry (not on the CSOL); 189 (not on the MLTSSL); 190 (not on the MLTSSL or STSOL). A 186 Temporary Residence Transition nomination needs a 482 already held as Funeral Worker, 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.
