I need help with information on how to relocate to Australia with my family through the work route. I’m interested in customer service/relations jobs, warehouse, caregiver jobs etc.

Thanks for sharing your interest in relocating to Australia, Peter and welcome to our community! 🙂
You mentioned customer service, warehouse, and caregiver roles. These are all very different roles, so it would help to know where you have the strongest experience or qualifications.
This matters because even with visa sponsorship, you’ll still need to apply for jobs and compete with other applicants.
The more relevant experience or skills you have, the better your chances of standing out with employers.
Here’s a quick breakdown of each path:
1. Caregiver jobs in Australia: If you have experience working as a carer or support worker (especially with the elderly or people with disabilities), this could be a strong option. Aged care and disability support roles are in demand in Australia, and some employers are open to sponsoring offshore workers. Having qualifications like a Certificate III or IV in Aged Care or Individual Support (or overseas equivalents) can be helpful.
2. Warehouse roles in Australia: These jobs are more physical and may require forklift licences or experience with inventory systems. Some warehouse jobs offer visa sponsorship, but they’re less common and typically require proven skills or work history.
3. Customer service/relations roles in Australia: Sponsorship in this field is quite rare unless it’s a specialist role (e.g. technical support or multilingual customer service). If this is your background, it may still be worth applying, but be aware that employer sponsorship opportunities may be limited.

Also, uploading your resume to our site at https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ can help you get noticed by Australian recruiters searching for offshore talent.
Would love to know where you’ve built most of your experience as that can help us narrow down the best pathway for you.
Hope this helps get you started! Feel free to share more details and I’ll guide you further.
All the best

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your detailed explanation. I have one year experience in caregiving though without a certificate I took care of an autistic patient for one year. From your explanation caregiver job seems to be the easiest and quickest job to get. I might have to get a certificate lll or lV to get a care job in Australia. Do companies train people who do not have certificates?
Thank you!

Hello Peter, I’d say companies sponsoring to then train someone isn’t likely. if they were they could just as easily hire someone locally and train them without the financial overhead of sponsorship.
Ultimately having access to trained and experienced resources in Australia is a challenge for many companies so if you have the experience (and the training/qualifications), you will be a much more attractive candidate for Australian companies and recruiters.
I hope this makes sense though please let me know if you need further information.
All the best
Mark

You’re very welcome, Peter!
Looking at your profile I can see you are in Nigeria. Since you’re in Nigeria, here’s how you can look into caregiver training that aligns with what Australian employers expect:
Australia’s standard qualification for care roles is the Certificate III or IV in Individual Support (covering aged care, disability support, or home/community care). You can’t typically enrol in these courses from overseas unless you’re coming to Australia on a student visa. Don’t worry, there’s another option.
The key is to complete a caregiving course in Nigeria that closely matches the Australian qualification in terms of content and practical training. This can still help you qualify for roles where sponsorship is offered.
To see what’s covered in the Australian version, you can look at the official training units listed here: https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/CHC33021 (this is for the Certificate III in Individual Support).
When researching training providers in Nigeria, look for courses that include hands-on care experience and cover similar topics, especially working with the elderly, people with disabilities, and infection control.
If you find a program and want to check if it’s comparable to Australian standards, I’m happy to help you assess it.
Let me know how you go, and I’ll support you with your next steps toward applying for jobs.
All the best,
Mark
