    Thanks for your post, Majid and welcome to our community! 🙂

    Unfortunately, delivery drivers and light vehicle drivers are not on Australia’s skilled occupation lists such as the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), or Regional Occupation List (ROL).

    This means it’s highly unlikely you would be eligible for a skilled visa or employer sponsorship as a driver.

    Visa sponsorship in Australia is generally limited to roles in high-demand skilled occupations.

    Delivery and light vehicle driving roles are considered entry-level and do not meet the skill or salary thresholds required for sponsorship. 😔

    That said, here are some alternative suggestions:

    1. Consider upskilling into a skilled trade – For example, heavy vehicle driving (such as truck driving – ANZSCO 733111) is sometimes eligible for sponsorship under regional or DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) schemes. You’d need relevant experience, licensing, and ideally a skills assessment.

    2. Visit Australia on a visitor visa to explore job opportunities and get a better feel for the local job market – but remember, you cannot work on a visitor visa.

    3. Consider studying in Australia – Some international students use this as a stepping stone to permanent residency, especially if they study in a field listed on the skilled occupation lists.

    If you’re interested in exploring other job types that do offer sponsorship, you can check:

    https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites and all jobs listed offer visa sponsorship.

    https://indeed.com.au

    I hope this gives you a clear picture of your current options. If you’re willing to consider upskilling or exploring other occupations, feel free to ask and I can help you identify possible pathways.

    All the best,

    Mark
