    Hi Patrick, thanks for sharing your background and welcome to our community 🙂

    Based on your experience as an HRIS Analyst, there are two possible occupation codes (ANZSCO) that could apply:

    1. 261112 – Systems Analyst

    This code suits people who focus more on the technical and IT side of HRIS systems – like evaluating, configuring or maintaining the software.

    2. 223111 – Human Resource Adviser

    This is possibly a better fit if your work leaned more towards HR functions, using HRIS for tasks like workforce planning, reporting or HR operations.

    Both of these roles are currently on Australia’s skilled occupation lists – meaning they’re eligible for employer-sponsored visas like the Temporary Skills Shortage visa (subclass 482), which can lead to permanent residency pathways later on.

    As you’re 55, age could be a factor for permanent visa options – but subclass 482 has no age limit, and there are concessions for permanent visas under some regional programs (called DAMAs).

    Next steps I’d recommend:

    • Choose the ANZSCO code that best reflects your past work – whether it’s more IT‑based or HR‑focused.
    • Get a formal skills assessment:
    • ACS handles IT-related roles like Systems Analyst
    • VETASSESS handles roles like Human Resource Adviser
    • Start applying for jobs that offer Australia Visa sponsorship:

    Use https://482jobs.com – every job listed here is verified for visa sponsorship

    You can also try https://seek.com.au and https://indeed.com.au, but filter with terms like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship”

    Feel free to share more about your day-to-day responsibilities if you want help picking the best ANZSCO code.

    Wishing you all the best on your journey to working in Australia! Om here to help guide you if you have any further questions. Otherwise make yourself at home.

    All the best
