Welcome to our community Subhrajyoti 😊
Chef is a good occupation to have as they are pretty sought after within the Australian Hospitality industry. You can jump straight into hospitality jobs in Australia offering visa sponsorship on our job boards here.
It’s worth noting that the occupation itself is listed on Australia’s skilled occupation lists, including the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which makes you eligible for certain skilled migration visas beyond just those that require visa sponsorship.
For example,
-
Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa
- No need for sponsorship or state nomination (this may be preferable)
- Points-tested visa based on factors like age, English skills, work experience, and education.
- Requires submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect.

-
Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa
- State or territory government nominates you.
- Similar process to the 189 visa but includes state-specific nomination requirements.

-
Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa
- For regional areas of Australia.
- Requires state/territory nomination or sponsorship by an eligible relative living in a regional area.

2. Employer-Sponsored Visas
If you would prefer to go the sponsorship route and have a job offer from an Australian employer, you may qualify for:
-
Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa
-
Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa
- Similar to the TSS visa but specific to regional Australia.
- Can lead to permanent residency after 3 years via the Subclass 191 visa.

3. General Approach
To apply for any of the above visas:
-
Skills Assessment:
You must have your skills assessed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). This ensures your qualifications and work experience meet Australian standards. Details: https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/ -
English Language Test:
Provide proof of English proficiency (IELTS, PTE, etc.). -
Expression of Interest (EOI):
Lodge an EOI in SkillSelect for points-tested visas. -
Visa Application:
Once invited or sponsored, submit the application with supporting documents (e.g., skills assessment, English test results, proof of experience). -
Health and Character Checks:
Complete medical exams and provide police clearance certificates.

hi is this a paid platform

Hello, it is (our small team manually find and verifies every role we add on 482 jobs, so there is a cost to providing that service for our members) – I hope you found the rest of my lengthy reply useful anyway 😶
If you would prefer to search non-paid platforms then I would recommend
https://seek.com.au (Australia’s main job board) or
Note, however, that these websites advertise a lot of jobs that are not sponsored, so a little further work will be required on your side if you would prefer to use the free job sites. 😊
All the best
