Hi Xandra,
Great to hear from you and welcome to our community 🙂
As an experienced Medical Technologist/Laboratory Scientist, you have promising pathways to migrate to Australia with your family.
Occupation Details: Your role aligns with the ANZSCO code 234611 – Medical Laboratory Scientist. This occupation is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making you eligible for several skilled migration visas.
Visa Options:
1. Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189):
Points-tested and does not require state or family sponsorship.
You must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and receive an invitation to apply.
2. Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190):
Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.
Offers permanent residency.
3. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491):
Requires nomination by a regional area or sponsorship by an eligible family member residing in a designated regional area.
Leads to permanent residency through the subclass 191 visa after meeting certain criteria.
4. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186):
Permanent visa requiring nomination by an Australian employer.
Suitable if you secure a job offer in Australia.
5. Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482):
Temporary visa allowing you to work in Australia for an approved sponsor.
Can lead to permanent residency through the subclass 186 visa.
Skills Assessment: You’ll need a positive skills assessment from the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS).
Job Search: To find employers offering visa sponsorship:

Indeed: https://indeed.com.au
Family Sponsorship: Since you have two sisters in Australia, you might be eligible for family-sponsored visas like the subclass 491, provided they reside in designated regional areas.
Next Steps:
- Obtain a skills assessment from AIMS.
- Calculate your points for skilled migration.
- Submit an EOI through SkillSelect.
- Explore job opportunities and secure a job offer if pursuing employer-sponsored visas.
I hope this information helps you get started. If you have further questions or need assistance with any step, feel free to ask.
Warm regards,
Mark
