Hi Mohammad, Welcome to Oz Visa Forum!
Thanks for sharing your background. You did a great job completing your positive skills assessment with VETASSESS 😊. This puts you in a strong position for employer-sponsored and skilled migration pathways.
1. Employer-Sponsored Visa Options (Subclass 482, 186, 494)
Since Chemist (ANZSCO 234211) is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), you are eligible for employer-sponsored visas with pathways to permanent residency.
-
Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa
Requires a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.
Valid for up to 4 years and can lead to permanent residency via the Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme Visa) after three years. -
Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme (Permanent Residency)
Direct PR pathway if you have at least three years of relevant experience and an employer willing to sponsor you. -
Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa
Requires sponsorship by an employer in a regional area of Australia.
Leads to permanent residency after 3 years via the Subclass 191 Visa.
Your challenge will be finding an employer willing to sponsor you. Chemists are not as commonly sponsored as occupations like engineers or medical professionals, but there are still opportunities, particularly in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.
2. Improving Your Chances of Employer Sponsorship
- Target employers in manufacturing, paints, coatings, and chemical industries (e.g., Dulux, PPG, AkzoNobel, regional manufacturing plants).
- Focus on regional areas, as they are more likely to have skill shortages and sponsor Chemists under the Subclass 494 Visa.
- Improve your PTE score. While 52 meets the basic English requirements for Subclass 482, some employers prefer a higher score, and PR pathways (Subclass 186, 494) may require Competent English (PTE 50 in each section).
3. Where to Search for Sponsored Jobs

🔹 https://seek.com.auLinkedIn – Connect with hiring managers in the chemical and manufacturing industries.
4. Alternative Pathways (If Employer Sponsorship is Difficult)
If you struggle to find an employer-sponsored job, you could also consider:
- State-nominated skilled migration (Subclass 190 or 491) – Some states may offer nomination for Chemists under their migration programs.
- Networking with industry professionals in Australia – This can help uncover hidden job opportunities.
- Studying further in Australia – If needed, a postgraduate course could open more skilled migration or employer-sponsored opportunities.
Final Thoughts
- Yes, employer sponsorship is possible, but you need to be proactive in job searching and target the right employers.
- Consider improving your PTE score to strengthen your PR options. Look into regional Australia, where demand may be higher.
I hope this helps – please feel free to ask any further questions.
Cheers,
Mark
