sponsorship for visa
Hi My name is Kemal and I am a dairy farm veterinarian.
And I am looking for a good opportunity such as dairy farm hand, assistance farm manager, herd health manager or any dairy farm work.
I have applied many many above mentioned positions and also I have received some replies from farms but most farms are not keen on recruiting me because I am not in Australia now and I dont have any residency and visa.
Therefore I need your help for finding sponsor dairy farm

Hi Kemal, welcome to our community.🙂
Thanks for sharing your experience as a dairy farm veterinarian!
Since you’re looking for a sponsored job in Australia, I recommend starting with one of our other websites, https://482jobs.com, which lists jobs that are confirmed to offer visa sponsorship.
Dairy related roles currently listed for information
Additionally, you can search on:
The latter two websites include jobs that do not offer sponsorship so ensure you add the terms “sponsorship” or “482 visa” to try and narrow your search results.
For a dairy farm role, you might qualify for a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) or a Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) visa (subclass 494), depending on the position and location.
If you’re open to regional areas, exploring the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) might also be an option.
Since many employers hesitate to sponsor offshore candidates, consider:
1. Networking with farm owners and industry groups through LinkedIn and Australian dairy associations.
2. Checking regional DAMA agreements, which often have more flexible sponsorship options.
3. Consider researching and contacting registered migration agents who specialise in employer sponsorship.
If you find a potential employer but they are unsure about the sponsorship process, you can direct them to the official Department of Home Affairs website: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or need more information about any of the above points.
Regards
Mark

Hi Rizwana, and welcome
Please can you confirm if you are also a dairy farmer? If not, can I ask that you start a new post by clicking here and providing a little more information about your skills and experience? This helps keep our conversation focused on a single topic, which makes it easier for everyone 😊
All the best

Dear Mark
In fact I found a dairy farm in Victoria-Australia almost a year ago and the owner contacted me and he promised to sponsor me and he found an agency to do my visa processing.
I contacted to agency and he advised me about what documents I should collect and provide.
I provided collected all the necessary papers and documents and unfortunately I waited 7 months.
The agency decided about what type of visa would suit for me was Skilled Worker Visa 482 and DAMA programme. Because I am older than 45 years old.
I talked to farm owner and asked why it would take long time and he said that he would have had nothing to do about taking long time approving visa process.
Anyway, after all of this, one day the owner sent me whatsapp message saying that I am sorry Kemal I will no longer sponsor you due to some circumstances changing in farm.
When I read that message,I was shocked and didn’t believe it because I waited almost 7 months without work and jobless.
Also during our conversation in telephone, he was mentioning recruiting other national candidates dairy farm hands such as from Ireland,Japan or the other national.
I think the reason or reasons why he gave up sponsoring me was either he found another candidate or he was so bored and fed up with waiting long time visa approval .
I know seek.com – jora job – gumtree -workforce australia and most websites from Australia and i applied many many dairy farm hand positions but all of them ask ,” must be located in Australia” or what are your working rights in Australia?
I do not know what to do to be honest.

Hi Kemal,
I’m really sorry to hear about your situation.
I appreciate It’s incredibly frustrating to wait so long, only to have the employer back out at the last moment. Unfortunately, this does happen, especially with offshore candidates, as employers sometimes find the visa process too complex or lengthy. 😕
The jobs are out there, though given your experience and the challenges you’re facing, here are a few suggestions to help improve your chances of finding another sponsor:
1. Target DAMA Employers – Since you are over 45, the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) remains a good option. Each DAMA region has different requirements and concessions, including age waivers. You can check which regions have agreements that include dairy farm workers on the Department of Home Affairs website: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/.
2. Apply Through 482 Jobs – Continue looking at https://482jobs.com, as all jobs listed there confirm sponsorship availability. There are dairy related roles here.
3. Direct Employer Contact – Rather than applying through job boards where most listings require candidates to be in Australia, consider reaching out directly to dairy farms in regional areas. Look up farm contact details via industry directories such as Dairy Australia (https://www.dairyaustralia.com.au) and send them an introduction email with your resume.
4. Network Through Industry Groups – Join online forums and LinkedIn groups related to dairy farming in Australia. Engaging in discussions and networking with industry professionals could help you connect with farm owners who are open to sponsorship.
5. Migration Agents Specialising in Employer Sponsorship – If possible, consult a migration agent with experience in employer-sponsored visas. They might have industry contacts and could guide you on other visa options.
It’s understandable that you’re feeling discouraged, but there are still opportunities out there. If you need help refining your approach or want to discuss specific employers, let me know!
Wishing you the best of luck,
Mark

Hi Mark Thank you for your help and advice.
I have had a look at the websites and visited them and I sent directly my resume to some dairy jobs vacancies into direct owner of the job advertisement.
But they always ask ” you must have all working rights in Australia or you must have full working visa.
When I see these questions, I am always stuck in very hard position, if I can not find a job or any sponsor in Australia then how could I get working rights or working visa, I think I must be located in Australia but how can I be located in Australia, no matter what happens Australia government wants a visa from me. Do you think I should come to Australia with tourist visa after that I could change the visa status such as DAMA or working visa.
Anyway, hopefully and I am hoping that I will have some reply from my recent applications
but on the other hand it seems tome that they will ask me again classical questions such as you must be located in Australia, you must have all working rights and full working visa…

Hi Kemal. Many farmers won’t want to incur the cost of sponsoring someone however, where there isn’t someone available, they might be more open to the idea. It’s very much a case of supply and demand.
I don’t think the tourist visa will work. There are restrictions around what you can and cannot do on a tourist visa and coming here with the specific intention of finding work is one of these restrictions.
You also need to consider that some farms in australia are millions of hectares in size so driving from farm to farm seeking work will not be a logistically viable option.
I think the outreach to farmers as you have recently done is probably the best approach in the short term. Continue to research other farms and do the same.
All the best
Mark
