Hello Leno, and welcome to our community. 🙂
it’s good to see that you have solid experience in the security industry.
Still, I want to be upfront that standard security guard roles are not on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List, which means you won’t be able to apply for a skilled visa based purely on your experience.
Now, this doesn’t mean you have no options!
Here are a few pathways you might consider:
1. Employer-Sponsored Visa (Subclass 482 or 186)
Some high-level security roles, such as Security Consultant, Security Advisor, or Electronic Security Technician, may qualify for employer sponsorship if an Australian company is willing to sponsor you.
Your best approach is to apply for jobs with Australian security companies that offer visa sponsorship though you may need to upskill further before you can qualify.
Some companies specialise in corporate security, security risk assessment, and electronic security systems, which may increase your chances.
Try job boards like Seek.com.au, Indeed.com.au, and our own at https://482jobs.com, and search for “482 visa sponsorship security.” Or just ‘Security) on 482jobs as all the jobs we advertise have already been confirmed as offering Visa sponsorship.
2. Studying in Australia (Student Visa – Subclass 500)
If you’re open to further study, you could enrol in a security-related qualification in Australia.
This would allow you to live in Australia and work part-time while gaining a qualification that might lead to future visa options.
3. Cold Contacting Australian Employers
Since sponsorship is your best chance, I’d recommend:
✅ Researching security companies in Australia, especially in regional areas.
✅ You can email them directly with your resume and explain that you are looking for a role that offers visa sponsorship.
✅ Use LinkedIn to connect with professionals in your field and explore any available opportunities.
What You Should Do Next
Look for employer-sponsored jobs in security consulting, risk management, or electronic security.
Consider upskilling into areas that may make you eligible for skilled migration (e.g., security risk assessment, security system installation).
Stay informed about migration changes and job opportunities that might open doors for you.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Regards
Mark
