Hello Dorcas and thank you for the clarifications.
Migrating to Australia as a commis chef offers several pathways, given that the occupation of ‘Chef’ (ANZSCO 351311) is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). Here’s an overview of potential visa options and the general approach:
1. Visa Options:
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): This points-tested visa allows skilled workers to live and work permanently anywhere in Australia. Eligibility requires a positive skills assessment, meeting the points test threshold (currently 65 points), and lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect.
Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): Similar to the 189 visa but requires nomination by an Australian state or territory government. Nomination criteria can vary, so it’s essential to check specific state requirements.
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): A provisional visa for skilled workers nominated by a state or territory government to live and work in regional Australia. It offers a pathway to permanent residency after meeting certain conditions.
Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186): A permanent residency visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer. It requires at least three years of relevant work experience and a positive skills assessment.
Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482): Allows employers to sponsor a skilled worker for up to four years. For the ‘Chef’ occupation, this visa can provide a pathway to permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) after meeting specific criteria.
2. Skills Assessment:
A positive skills assessment is crucial for most skilled visas. For chefs, the Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) is the relevant assessing authority. The assessment typically requires:
A relevant qualification, such as a Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery.
At least three years of post-qualification work experience as a chef.
Demonstrated proficiency in tasks like menu planning, food preparation, and kitchen management.
3. English Language Proficiency:
Applicants must demonstrate competent English language skills, usually evidenced by an IELTS score of at least 6.0 in each component. Some visas may have higher requirements, so it’s essential to check the specific criteria.
4. Points Test:
For points-tested visas (e.g., Subclass 189 and 190), points are awarded based on factors like age, English proficiency, skilled employment experience, and educational qualifications. Achieving a higher points score increases the likelihood of receiving an invitation to apply.
5. State or Territory Nomination:
If pursuing a Subclass 190 or 491 visa, securing a nomination from a state or territory government is necessary. Each state or territory has its own criteria and occupation lists, which can change based on labour market needs.
6. Employer Sponsorship:
Securing a job offer from an Australian employer can lead to employer-sponsored visas like the Subclass 482 or 186. The employer must be an approved sponsor and demonstrate that the position cannot be filled by an Australian worker.
Approach:
1. Assess Eligibility: Review the specific requirements for each visa option to determine the most suitable pathway.
2. Obtain a Skills Assessment: Apply to the TRA for a skills assessment, ensuring all necessary documentation and evidence of work experience are provided.

3. Demonstrate English Proficiency: Prepare for and undertake an approved English language test to meet the required proficiency levels.
4. Explore State Nomination: If considering a state-nominated visa, research the nomination criteria of various states or territories and submit an EOI accordingly.
Seek Employer Sponsorship: Network within the Australian hospitality industry to secure a job offer from an approved sponsor, if pursuing an employer-sponsored visa or check out some of the sponsored job listings we have on our website at https://482jobs.com
6. Submit Visa Application: Once all prerequisites are met, lodge the visa application with the Department of Home Affairs, ensuring all supporting documents are included.
