  • Seeking New Opportunities and Visa Pathways in Australia – UX/UI Designer

    Posted by Priyank on April 27, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    Hello Everyone,

    My name is Priyank. I am originally from India and recently moved to Australia on a 462 Working Holiday Visa.

    After completing my 10th grade, I pursued a Diploma and Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology (English Medium). I have over three years of professional experience as a User Experience (UX) Designer, with a job title of UI/UX Designer (ICT Category).

    I am currently exploring new visa options to help me settle in Australia. I am open to opportunities, connections, and advice that can support my journey here.

    I appreciate your support!

    Hi Priyank, welcome to the community and thanks for sharing your background! 🙂

    Since you are a UI/UX Designer (which falls under ANZSCO 232411 – Graphic Designer or sometimes ANZSCO 261211 – Multimedia Specialist depending on your exact duties), let me help you with some visa and job search suggestions for starters.

    Visa Pathways:

    The occupation of Multimedia Specialist (ANZSCO 261211) is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

    This means you could be eligible for skilled visas like the Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa), Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa), or Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa) if you meet the points requirements and complete a successful skills assessment.

    The occupation Graphic Designer (ANZSCO 232411) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), so it has more limited options (primarily employer sponsorship such as a Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa).

    Job Search Help:

    To find jobs that offer sponsorship, you can check:

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

    2. https://seek.com.au

    3. https://indeed.com.au

    You might find suitable roles in the Information & Communications Technology (ICT) category here:

    Extra Tips:

    It is highly recommended you update your LinkedIn profile to appeal to Australian recruiters. You can check this guide for expert tips: https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin

    Also, to help recruiters find you directly, you can upload your resume to our site here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

    Next Steps:

    Consider getting a skills assessment through ACS (Australian Computer Society) for ANZSCO 261211 if your work is focused more on digital media. Their official site is https://www.acs.org.au/

    If your work is more graphics-focused, VETASSESS handles Graphic Designer assessments: https://www.vetassess.com.au/

    Start building local work experience and networking – this will significantly help for employer sponsorship or state nomination pathways.

    I hope you found this helpful Priyank! Feel free to ask if you would like me to guide you through points calculation, specific visa steps or anything else mentioned above.

    All the best

    Regards,

    Mark
