Hello Charuhas, I’d say it depends on the platforms you have experience developing software in.,
Software development can be completed offshore, so the appetite to sponsor can be quite low.
-
The most common employer-sponsored visas for IT professionals are:
- Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) – Requires a job offer from an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you.
- Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186) – A permanent visa for skilled workers sponsored by an employer.
- Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494) – For regional employment opportunities.
-
Apply for jobs with sponsorship – You can find employers offering visa sponsorship through:
- https://482jobs.com – All jobs listed here offer sponsorship.
- https://seek.com.au – Use keywords like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship.”
- https://indeed.com.au – Another useful job search site.
-
Consider independent skilled migration – If you meet the eligibility criteria, you may qualify for a visa without employer sponsorship:
- Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – A points-based visa for occupations on the MLTSSL.
- Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – Requires state nomination.
- Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491) – For regional areas.
-
Get your skills assessed – If applying for a skilled visa, you’ll need a skills assessment from the Australian Computer Society (ACS): http://www.acs.org.au.
-
Improve your chances – Enhance your employability by gaining experience in in-demand IT fields such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, or AI. Certifications (e.g., AWS, Azure, PMP) can also help.
If you would you like help determining which visa best suits your profile? Let me know a little more about your occupation, skills and experience.
All the best
