    Hi Martin, welcome to our community! 😊

    Thanks for reaching out! It’s great to hear about your interest in pursuing a maintenance planner role within Australia’s mining sector. Given your background and current location in Papua New Guinea, there are indeed opportunities available that offer visa sponsorship.

    Visa Pathways:

    The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) is a common pathway for skilled workers like maintenance planners. This visa allows Australian employers to sponsor foreign workers for positions they can’t fill locally.

    The occupation of Maintenance Planner falls under the ANZSCO code 312911 and is typically listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

    Being on this list means you may also have pathways to permanent residency through visas like the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) or the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), provided you meet other eligibility criteria.

    If you are intent on going down the sponsored visa route, a few sources of sponsored role:

    If you need help understanding the non-visa options (subclass 189 visa mentioned previously), or have any other questions about migrating and working in Australia, please don’t hesitate to ask.

    Best regards,
