Can this occupation migrate?
Potentially — if the list, the assessment and the rest of the profile fit.
Data Analyst can be relevant to skilled and employer-sponsored pathways. Your actual options depend on age, English, qualifications, work history, the skills assessment, points, state nomination, and whether an employer can sponsor the position. A place on a list is not a grant.
Potential visa pathways
Start with the pathway type, not only the subclass.
State nomination
Lists change. We check this year’s program.
Whether Data Analyst is open for 190 or 491 depends on the state, the stream, and the month. NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory each run their own program. Occupation-specific status is checked against the current list — not a screenshot from last year.
