Can this occupation migrate?
Statistician 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.

State nomination
Whether Statistician 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.
EOI and state nominationSkills assessment
The assessment tests whether your qualification and work match this nominated occupation. VETASSESS is the usual authority. Confirm it on the current Home Affairs list before you apply. A suitable outcome is generally required before a points-tested EOI.
How skills assessments workPoints and other factors
Points sit in set age bands. Confirm the current test before you claim a number.
Competent English is the usual baseline. Proficient or superior English can add points.
Work in the nominated or closely related occupation can add points. Dates have to survive a skills assessment.
Recognised qualifications can add points. The assessing authority decides comparability.
Australian study, specialist education, partner skills or community language may add points.
State nomination (190) or regional nomination (491) can add points. 189 has neither.
Occupation match
Nominate the work you actually do, not the job title on a card. Confirm the official ANZSCO description before you pay for an assessment.
