Hi Chick,welcome to Oz Visa Forum 😊
Thanks for your question! Just to clarify—are you asking about a visa pathway for plumbers to work in Australia, or are you looking for a training program to study plumbing in Australia?
If you’re interested in migrating as a qualified plumber, there are visa options available:
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): This is a points-tested visa for skilled workers without the need for sponsorship. Plumbers (ANZSCO 334111) are on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), meaning this could be an option.
Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory. Some states have specific requirements for plumbers.
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): A points-tested visa requiring nomination by a state/territory or sponsorship by an eligible relative in regional Australia.
Employer-Sponsored Visas (Subclass 482 or 186): If you can secure a job with an Australian employer willing to sponsor you, this could be a direct route.
For any of these skilled migration pathways, you will need a skills assessment from Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). The Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP) is usually required for plumbers from countries where licensing standards differ from Australia.
Let me know if you’re asking about work visas or study options, and I’d be happy to guide you further!
Best regards,
Mark
