search_occupations

Search for ANZSCO occupations by free-text job title, technology name, or industry. Handles technology synonyms so informal queries resolve correctly — for example: '.net developer' returns ANZSCO 261312 Developer Programmer; 'java developer' or 'backend engineer' returns 261313 Software Engineer; 'react developer' or 'frontend' or 'vue.js' returns 261212 Web Developer; 'data scientist' or 'ml engineer' returns 224114 Data Scientist; 'devops' or 'kubernetes engineer' returns 261316 DevOps Engineer; 'gp' or 'general practitioner' returns 253111 General Practitioner; 'civil engineer' returns 233512. Returns matched ANZSCO codes with titles, visa eligibility, skills assessment authority, and relevance scores sorted by match quality.

get_occupation

Get full occupation details for a specific ANZSCO code. Returns the occupation title, ANZSCO classification group, skills assessment authority (ACS, Engineers Australia, VETASSESS, etc.), occupation lists (MLTSSL / STSOL / ROL), eligible visa subclasses, nominating states and territories, and a narrative description. Use this after search_occupations to get complete information about a specific occupation. Example: get_occupation('261312') returns full details for Developer Programmer (.NET / C#).

Input schema 
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "code": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Six-digit ANZSCO occupation code, e.g. '261312' or '233512'."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "code"
  ]
}

get_visa_pathway

Get combined occupation and visa pathway information. Returns visa eligibility, skills assessment body, estimated processing time, narrative about the pathway, and whether the occupation is on the relevant skills list for that visa subclass. Useful for questions like 'can a .net developer apply for visa 189?' or 'what are the points requirements for 261312 on subclass 190?'. Supported subclasses: 189, 190, 491, 482, 186, 494.

Input schema 
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "code": {

    "subclass": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Visa subclass number as string: '189', '190', '491', '482', '186', or '494'."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "code",
    "subclass"
  ]
}

get_state_nomination

Get state/territory nomination status for a specific occupation. Returns whether the state currently nominates the occupation, the state skills list version, indicative points bonus for state nomination (190 = +5 points, 491 = +15 points), and a narrative. State codes: NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT. Example: 'does NSW nominate 261312 developers?' — use get_state_nomination('261312', 'NSW').

  "properties": {
    "code": {
      "type": "string",

  ]
}

get_latest_skillselect_round

Get the most recent SkillSelect invitation round data from the Department of Home Affairs. Returns the round date, total invitations issued, breakdown by visa subclass (189/190/491), minimum points cutoffs, and per-occupation pro-rata cutoffs where applicable. Use this to answer 'what is the latest points cutoff for 189 visa?', 'how many invitations were issued last round?', or 'did .net developers get invited in the last round?'.

Input schema 
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}

search_by_visa

List all ANZSCO occupations eligible for a given visa subclass. Returns occupation codes, titles, and skills assessment authorities for all occupations on the relevant skills list for that visa.

compare_occupations

Side-by-side comparison of multiple ANZSCO occupation codes. Returns a comparison table showing: which visa subclasses each occupation is eligible for, which states nominate each, skills assessment bodies, and occupation list type (MLTSSL/STSOL/ROL). Useful when a user is choosing between two career paths or visa options — e.g. 'compare 261312 developer programmer vs 261313 software engineer' or 'which is better for visa 190 — 233512 civil engineer or 233311 electrical engineer?'.
