    Hi Kazeem, welcome to our community.

    Before we dig into your request, I moved your reply to its own post, please start your own posts if you have a question 👍

    If you’re looking for visa sponsorship jobs as a truck driver or forklift operator in Australia, here’s what you need to know:

    1. Visa Options for Truck Drivers & Forklift Operators

    Truck Drivers (ANZSCO 733111 – General Freight or 733109 – Other Truck Driver) are sometimes eligible for Employer-Sponsored Visas like:

    Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) (if an employer is willing to sponsor you)

    Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa (Subclass 494) (for regional areas)

    Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) (permanent residency with sponsorship)

    Forklift Operators are generally not on the skilled occupation lists for independent visas, but if you find an employer willing to sponsor you, you might be eligible for a Labour Agreement or DAMAs (Designated Area Migration Agreements) in some regions.

    2. How to Find Visa Sponsorship Jobs

    https://482jobs.com – This is our dedicated site for visa-sponsored jobs. All listed jobs offer sponsorship.

    Seek.com.au & Indeed.com.au – Use search filters like “visa sponsorship” to find employers willing to sponsor overseas workers.

    Industry-specific recruitment agencies – Companies like Driver Hire Australia or Labourforce often recruit truck drivers for sponsorship roles.

    3. Licensing & Skills Assessment

    Heavy Vehicle Truck Drivers need an Australian Heavy Rigid (HR) or Heavy Combination (HC) Licence. Some employers may sponsor you and help with licensing.

    Forklift Operators need a High-Risk Work Licence (LF Licence), which is usually obtained in Australia.

    Let me know if you need help finding jobs or applying for the right visa!

    Best regards,

    Mark

    Dear [Kazeem],

    I hope you are doing well. I am writing to express my interest in the truck driver and forklift position at Company . I have over three years of experience driving heavy long trucks and forklift in India and hold a valid heavy vehicle license.

    I am eager to bring my skills to Australia and am willing to relocate. I understand that Kazeem offers visa sponsorship for qualified drivers, and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my application further. Please find my resume attached for your review.

    I look forward to your response and the possibility of contributing to your team.

    Best regards,

    Sarabjeet Singh

      Hello Sarabjeet. I think this user is enquiring about how to find truck driver jobs, not offer them. Please review my earlier response above for some further information on how to try and locate truck driver jobs in Australia offering Visa sponsorship.
