Seeking Sponsored Internship in Agriculture/Farming in Australia
Hi everyone, I recently completed my MSc in Agricultural Extension, and I am looking for a sponsored internship in agriculture or farm-related work in Australia. I want to gain hands-on experience and enhance my skills in the field.
Does anyone know of any programs, farms, or organizations that offer sponsorship for international candidates? Any advice or guidance would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome Sekh Mahabub and thank you for your question,
Firstly, It’s great that you’re looking for opportunities in Australia’s agriculture sector! There are a few pathways you can explore to secure a sponsored internship or work opportunity:
Agricultural Visa Pathways:
The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) is available if you find an employer willing to sponsor you, but agricultural internships may not always qualify.
The Temporary Work (International Relations) Visa (Subclass 403) – Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Stream allows workers from select countries (including India in some cases) to work in agriculture.
The Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417) or Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462) may be an option if you meet the eligibility criteria. These don’t offer sponsorship but can be a great way to gain local experience that might help you secure sponsorship longer term..
Where to Find Sponsored Opportunities:
482jobs.com ( https://482jobs.com ) – This is our job board and it specifically lists visa-sponsored jobs in Australia. Check if any agricultural roles are available.
Agri Labour Australia (https://www.agrilabour.com.au) – Specialises in agricultural recruitment and sometimes has sponsored roles.
Rural Enterprises (https://www.ruralenterprises.com.au) – Focuses on-farm jobs, including some with visa support.
Internship & Training Programs:
Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) – Some companies offer training visas through the Training Visa (Subclass 407) for skill development in agriculture.
AUSVEG (https://ausveg.com.au) – Represents vegetable growers and may have industry connections for internships.
National Farmers’ Federation (https://nff.org.au) – Sometimes shares job opportunities in agriculture.
Networking & Direct Applications:
Connect with farm owners and recruiters on LinkedIn and update your profile to highlight your skills in agricultural extension.
Let me know if you need further guidance! Wishing you the best in securing a sponsored opportunity.
All the best
