    Welcome to our community, Tadele! 🙂

    As a lathe machine operator and welder, your occupation could fall under different ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) codes, depending on your specific skills and experience.

    Here are the likely codes:

    Lathe Operator – ANZSCO 712311

    Welder (First Class) – ANZSCO 322313

    Are These Occupations on a Skilled List?

    Welder (ANZSCO 322313) is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), meaning there are more visa options available.

    Lathe Operator (ANZSCO 712311) is not on the main skilled occupation lists, so it is unlikely to qualify for a skilled visa.

    Possible Visa Options for a Welder (322313):

    1. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) – Requires employer sponsorship. You can search for visa-sponsored jobs on 482Jobs.com, where all listed jobs offer sponsorship.

    2. Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – A points-tested visa for occupations on the MLTSSL. No employer sponsorship required but competitive.

    3. Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – Requires state nomination. Each state has different requirements.

    4. Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491) – Requires regional nomination and provides a pathway to permanent residency.

    5. Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) – Permanent visa available through employer sponsorship.

    English Language Skills

    For most Australian work visas, good written and spoken English is required. You may need to take an English test like IELTS or PTE. Improving your English will help with job applications and visa eligibility.

    Next Steps

    Look for visa-sponsored jobs on https://482jobs.com.

    If needed, improve English skills to meet visa and employer requirements.

    Consider skills assessment through TRA (Trades Recognition Australia) if applying for a skilled visa.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
