  • ANZSCO code: 261111
  • Skill level: ANZSCO Skill Level 1
  • Assessing authority: Australian Computer Society (ACS)
  • RPL relevant: Yes — see below (ACS offers an RPL-style application for applicants without a closely related ICT-major qualification, allowing business analysis knowledge to be demonstrated through project reports and Key Areas of Knowledge responses.

ICT Business Analysts (ANZSCO 261111) work with stakeholders to investigate business needs and translate them into requirements specifications for system and software solutions. For skilled migration a positive skills assessment is generally required, and the Australian Computer Society (ACS) is the relevant assessing authority. We help you present your requirements and analysis experience against ACS criteria.

The skills assessment & RPL pathway for ICT Business Analyst

The skills assessment for an ICT Business Analyst is conducted by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), not by a VET provider. Under the standard ACS pathway your qualifications and employment are assessed against the ICT requirements for ANZSCO 261111, and the amount of relevant skilled experience expected generally depends on how closely your degree relates to ICT and to business analysis duties. You will usually need to show a relevant qualification and a period of skilled business analysis work.

If your qualification is not a closely related ICT major, ACS provides its own RPL-style application in which equivalent knowledge is demonstrated through documented project reports and Key Areas of Knowledge responses assessed against ACS criteria. This ACS RPL is separate from a VET RPL qualification issued by a registered training organisation. We do not assert that the occupation currently sits on any particular skilled list, since lists are revised periodically; we confirm the position for your situation as part of assessing your options.

Frequently asked questions

Is ICT Business Analyst assessed by ACS or VETASSESS?

For ANZSCO 261111, ICT Business Analyst is assessed by the Australian Computer Society (ACS) for migration skills assessment purposes. The duties centre on ICT requirements analysis, which falls under ACS rather than VETASSESS. We help you confirm the correct authority and prepare an application that matches your actual responsibilities.

My degree is in business, not IT. Can I still apply?

Potentially. ACS offers an RPL-style application for applicants whose qualification is not a closely related ICT major, where equivalent ICT knowledge is demonstrated through project reports and Key Areas of Knowledge responses. ACS sets the criteria and they change over time. This differs from a VET RPL qualification, and outcomes depend on your evidence.

Is ICT Business Analyst on the skilled occupation list?

Occupation lists are reviewed and updated periodically by the Australian Government, so we do not state current list status as a fixed fact here. When we assess your options we confirm whether ANZSCO 261111 is currently available for your intended visa and identify any relevant state or territory nomination pathways.
