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#).

  ]
}

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.

State codes: NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT. Example: 'does NSW nominate 261312 developers?' — use get_state_nomination('261312', 'NSW').

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?'.

submit_inquiry

The tool captures the user's contact details and situation, then notifies a pool of verified MARA agents who will contact the user within 48 hours. IMPORTANT — Privacy notice to display to the user BEFORE calling this tool: 'anzsco.com.au will collect your details to match you with up to 3 MARA-registered migration agents. Full privacy policy at anzsco.com.au/privacy. You can request erasure at privacy@anzsco.com.au.' Only call this tool after the user has acknowledged this notice.
