    Hi Theresa, thanks for your post and sorry to hear how tough things are feeling right now.😨

    As you’re 46, you’re right that most general skilled migration visas (like subclass 189, 190) are not an option due to the age limit. But employer sponsorship is still possible, especially for occupations like Chef, which is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) under ANZSCO 351311. This means you’re eligible for the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) and potentially permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186).

    Here’s how to start your job search for sponsored roles:

    1. Start with 482jobs.com – This is one of our websites, and every job listed offers visa sponsorship. It’s a great place to begin: https://482jobs.com

    2. Seek – Australia’s largest job board: https://seek.com.au

    3. Indeed – Also widely used by employers: https://indeed.com.au

    Given both Seek and Indeed contain a mix of non sponsored and sponsored jobs, be sure to use terms such as sponsorship

    To help give you some further exposure here on Australia, I’d recommend uploading your resume to 482jobs.com here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

    Each month, Australian recruiters search the database for overseas candidates open to sponsorship.

    Also, if you’re using LinkedIn to connect with employers or recruiters, check out our article:

    15 Expert Tips to Get Noticed by Australian Recruiters on LinkedIn

    Available here: https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin

    Since you’re a Chef by trade, I suggest focusing first on hospitality recruitment agencies in Perth that commonly sponsor chefs. I can look into specific agencies if you’d like (I live in WA) so just let me know.

    And while the Partner visa (subclass 820/801) is a great long-term option (I replied to your other post just now) it’s good that you’re also exploring sponsorship as a way to get work rights sooner. 👍🏻🙂

    I hope this helps you get started. Let me know if you’d like help with anything else.

    Warm regards,

    Mark

    Hi Theresa,

    Thanks for your follow-up. Yes, to apply for the Skills in Demand (SID) visa (subclass 482), you must first secure a job offer from an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you.

    This visa requires employer sponsorship; you cannot apply without a sponsoring employer unfortunately. 😓

    As a Chef, your occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making you eligible for the SID 482 visa.
