    Hi Mary and welcome to our community! 🙋‍♂️

    Thanks for reaching out and sharing your background. With your experience and a year in NGO finance, you have a solid foundation for exploring skilled migration pathways to Australia. Let’s go through your options.

    Identifying Suitable Occupations

    Based on your experience, these occupations might suit your profile:

    • Finance Manager (ANZSCO 132211)

    • Internal Auditor (ANZSCO 221214)

    • Management Accountant (ANZSCO 221112)

    All three are currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which opens up both temporary and permanent visa options.

    Visa Pathways

    Given your preference for employer sponsorship, here are the main options:

    • Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) – Allows employers to sponsor you to work in Australia. MLTSSL occupations are eligible for a 4-year visa with a pathway to permanent residency.

    • Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186) – A permanent visa if you’re nominated by an Australian employer.

    You might also explore state-nominated skilled migration pathways:

    • Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – Points-tested permanent visa with no employer sponsorship required.

    • Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – Requires nomination by a state or territory government.

    Skill Assessment

    You’ll need a positive skills assessment for any of the skilled visas. Based on your occupation, the assessing bodies would likely be VETASSESS or one of the accounting bodies in Australia.

    Job Search and Sponsorship Opportunities

    To find sponsored jobs in Australia:

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

    2. https://seek.com.au

    3. https://indeed.com.au

    Also consider uploading your resume to https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ to be seen by employers actively searching for skilled international professionals.

    Boost Your Profile

    I hope this helps clarify your potential migration options. Please reach out again if you’d like help with any part of the process.

    Warm regards,
    Mark
