Can this occupation migrate?

Potentially — if the list, the assessment and the rest of the profile fit.

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.

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.

State nomination

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