Australia Sponsorship
Hi, my name is John Vin. I’m a butcher/meat cutter here in the Philippines. I want to ask where I can find a company that can sponsor me to be able to work in Australia.

Hi John, welcome — great question. I’ll keep this short and practical.
Basic facts for your job (butcher / meat cutter)
ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations): 351211 — Butcher or Smallgoods Maker.
This occupation is on Australia’s Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).
Assessing authority: Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). You will usually need a TRA skills assessment for employer-sponsored or skilled visas.
Which visa pathway this feeds into
The main employer-sponsored route is the Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482, employer-sponsored). Employers nominate positions listed on the STSOL under the short-term stream; regional or labour-agreement options may apply in some cases.
Practical next steps (clear, step-by-step)
1. Job hunting (start here)
First: https://482jobs.com — every job there has already been checked for Australia Visa sponsorship.
Trades & Services jobs (butchers/meat roles): https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/
Also search Seek: https://seek.com.au and Indeed: https://indeed.com.au but filter by terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” because most listings there are not sponsored.
2. Get a TRA skills assessment
Apply to Trades Recognition Australia for a skills assessment for ANZSCO 351211. This is usually required for employer-sponsored visas.
3. Meet English and other visa requirements
You will usually need to meet minimum English test requirements for the Subclass 482 visa (IELTS, OET, etc.) unless exempt. Check the Department of Home Affairs website for exact scores.
4. Prepare Australian-style documents
Update your CV for the Australian market and upload to 482jobs to be seen by Australian employers: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/ and submit your resume here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/
Highlight: years of experience, machines and tools used (meat saws, boning skills), HACCP or food-safety certificates if you have them, and referees.
5. Employer nomination and visa lodgement
Once an Australian employer offers a sponsored position they lodge the nomination and then you lodge the visa application (or the employer may use a labour agreement if applicable).
I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out with more questions anytime. Best of luck on your journey to Australia!
All the best
Mark
