Can this occupation migrate?
Potentially — if the list, the assessment and the rest of the profile fit.
Emergency Service Worker 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.
Employer-sponsored
For applicants with an Australian employer willing and able to sponsor an eligible position.
Other pathways
These are the other subclasses stored for this occupation.
State nomination

Whether Emergency Service Worker is open for 190 or 491 depends on the state, the stream, and the month.

Occupation-specific status is checked against the current list — not a screenshot from last year.
