Relocation possibilities
Hi all! Nice to meet you! I´m Emanuel, from Argentina living in Brazil. I´m 33 years old professional with strong technical background, currently I work as a Global Integration Analyst Sr. but diving into the cybersecurity world. I am finishing my Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and already taking a look at next certificates. I wanted to know your thoughts on my chances to find a relocation to Australia, is it very challenging? I am open to any place in Australia, but I would prefer in Queensland or Perth. Thank you very much!

Hi Emanuel, welcome to the community (your username confused me) ☺️
Your background in cybersecurity is a good one for migration to Australia, as cybersecurity professionals are in high demand.
Your chances of relocation depend on several factors, including your qualifications, experience, and whether an employer is willing to sponsor you.
Possible Visa Options
Since you are looking for employer-sponsored relocation, here are a few visa options that might suit you:
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) – If you can secure a job with an employer willing to sponsor you, this is one of the quickest ways to relocate. The occupation “Security Specialist” (ANZSCO 262112) is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making you eligible for a pathway to permanent residency.
Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – If you get nominated by a state government, you can move directly to permanent residency. States like Queensland and Western Australia (Perth) often nominate cybersecurity professionals.
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491) – This is another option if you are open to working in regional areas, including parts of Queensland and Western Australia.
Job Search Tips
To improve your chances of getting sponsorship:
Check out our website at https://482jobs.com – All jobs here are confirmed to offer visa sponsorship.
Use Seek.com au and Indeed.com.au – Websites like Seek and Indeed also list cybersecurity roles, but you will need to filter for “visa sponsorship.”
LinkedIn Networking – Engage with Australian cybersecurity professionals and recruiters.
Certifications Matter
Your Google Cybersecurity Certificate is a great start, but employers in Australia often hold certifications like CISSP, CEH, or CompTIA Security+ in extremely high regard so these may also be worth researching to help improving your chances of securing a job offer.
It can be challenging to get direct sponsorship, but with your technical background and some targeted job applications, it’s definitely possible.
As well as the above advice, I’d recommend reading some of the recent exchanges I have had with @tommy recently as he is a little further along the process than you are. Some recent posts here.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you need more details.
Regards,
Mark

Thanks Mark!
I created a profile in 482jobs, however I believe pretty much all jobs need to upgrade the account, right? About Seek and Indeed, I believe there is no a specific filter for visa sponsorship, however I did find good jobs. Hope to achieve my goal!!-
Hi David, that’s is correct regarding 482jobs. We have a cost overhead associated with the small team of editors we employ that finds, check, verify and posts the jobs on our website which is why we charge a small membership fee.
We hope the benefit/time saving warrants the $ which starts at least than $1.00 and you can still browse all the jobs for free (signing up if you find a job you’d like to apply for).
Regarding the seek and indeed searches. I apologise for any confusion. You are correct about there being no specific filter, however if you add the term “sponsorship” as part of your search criteria, you will at least highlight the jobs where sponsorship is referenced as part of the job advert.
I hope this makes sense. 🙂
