    Hi there, thanks for posting ACH and welcome to our community 🤗.

    If you’re looking to work in Australia, the best option is usually a sponsored work visa, such as the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa. To qualify, you’ll need to:

    1. Have a skill that matches an occupation on Australia’s official skilled occupation lists.
    2. Be sponsored by an Australian employer who is approved to sponsor workers.
    3. Meet relevant work experience and English language requirements.

    A great place to start is our job board: https://482jobs.com — every job listed here offers Australia Visa sponsorship. You can also submit your resume directly here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

    Other job sites like https://seek.com.au and https://indeed.com.au also list jobs, but most do not offer sponsorship — so make sure to search using terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa.”

    If you tell me your exact job or skill (for example: welder, cook, nurse), I can check if it’s on the skilled list and suggest the best visa options.

    I hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions, we’re here to support your journey to Australia. 👍🏻

    Regards

    G’day Adeola!

    Well done on your positive skills assessment with VETASSESS — that’s a major milestone!

    Here’s what usually comes next, depending on your goal:

    1. Check Your Occupation’s Visa Options
      Look up your occupation to see if it appears on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List), ROL (Regional Occupation List) or under a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement).
      This determines which skilled visa pathways are open to you — for example:

    • Subclass 189 (points-tested permanent visa – for MLTSSL occupations)

    • Subclass 190 (state-nominated permanent visa)

    • Subclass 491 (regional state-nominated provisional visa)

    • Subclass 482 (temporary employer-sponsored visa)

    Let me know your exact occupation and I’ll confirm which list it’s on and the visa options.

    1. Gather Documents & Improve Points (for points-tested visas like 189, 190, 491)
      Start gathering documents for your Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect.
      You can also improve your points by:

    • Boosting your English test score (IELTS, PTE, etc)

    • Gaining extra work experience

    • Completing NAATI or professional year (if eligible)

    1. State Nomination or Job Sponsorship
      Depending on your occupation:

    • If going for a 190 or 491 visa, check if any states are currently nominating your occupation.

    • If aiming for employer sponsorship (Subclass 482 or 186), now’s the time to look for employers who can sponsor you.

    You can start here: https://482jobs.com (Share already I know). Every job on this site offers Australia Visa sponsorship.

    Hope this helps, and congrats again on the positive assessment!

    All the best

    Hey @Mhofela (Nobert)

    Thanks for the update.

    Having hands-on experience in welding and gutter installation is a great start. Many Australian employers value practical skills, especially in trades. Even without formal qualifications, there may still be options — especially through regional visa pathways or employer-sponsored jobs where experience is more important than certificates.

    You can browse jobs that offer Australia Visa sponsorship in the Trades & Services category here:

    To guide you better, please can you tell us:

    Hi Lloyd, welcome to our community! 😊

    Australia currently has a strong demand for qualified welders, and your Red Seal qualification and welding experience (MIG, TIG, arc) are likely excellent starting points.

    Here’s how to move forward:

    1. Find a Job with Australia Visa Sponsorship
      Start with 482jobs.com – this is one of our websites, and every job listed here has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship:
      https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

    Also check:

    Use search terms like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship” to filter relevant jobs. These sites mostly list non-sponsored jobs, so be selective.

    1. Occupation Code & Visa Pathways
      Your job as a welder is listed under ANZSCO 322313 – Welder (First Class), which appears on the Medium and Long‑term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
      This makes you eligible for the following visas:

    • Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa)

    • Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme visa – permanent)

    • Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa)

    • Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent visa – points tested)

    • Subclass 190 or 491 (if nominated by a state or region)

    1. Get Your Skills Assessed
      To qualify for a skilled visa, you’ll need your skills assessed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA).
      Details here: https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/

    2. Update Your Resume & LinkedIn
      Make sure your CV matches Australian standards. This guide can help:

      And polish your LinkedIn with this:

    3. Submit Your Resume to 482jobs
      Upload your resume here so Australian employers can find you:

    I hope this gives you a clear pathway forward. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions at your convenience.

    July 28, 2025 at 8:32 am in reply to: 482 for teaching position

    Hi Carla,

    Thanks for sharing your details. Based on your background and experience, here’s a clear and straightforward look at your possible pathways to teaching in Australia through visa subclass 482 (Skills in Demand):

    1. Relevant ANZSCO codes for teaching
    Your experience fits most closely with ANZSCO 241311 (Middle School Teacher) or 241411 (Secondary School Teacher) if you have taught older students. Both occupations require a Bachelor’s degree (preferably in Education or an equivalent field), a supervised practicum, and registration with the state or territory’s teacher regulatory authority.

    2. Skill assessment via AITSL
    To qualify, you must apply to the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) for a skills assessment. They will check if your credentials, including your degree, education units, practicum, and teaching experience, meet Australian standards. If gaps are found, you may need to complete further study or upgrading.

    3. Is teaching on the approved lists for a 482 visa?
    Yes. Teacher roles (e.g. Secondary or Middle School Teacher) appear on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) used for the SID subclass 482 visa. This means if you get a valid job offer and skills assessment, a sponsoring employer can nominate you.

    4. English language requirements
    You must meet the required level of English proficiency: for the medium‑term stream of the 482 visa, that means typically IELTS overall 5.0 (minimum 5 in each band) or equivalent (TOEFL, OET, PTE). Some roles or employers may require higher scores, so it’s good to check.

    5. Path forward for your profile
    Given you have a Bachelor in Business Admin with only education units, you likely require either:

    • a full teaching qualification (e.g. postgraduate Diploma or Bachelor of Education), or

    • completion of missing coursework/practicum to reach equivalence.

    Once verified by AITSL, you can seek Australian school employers (public/private) willing to sponsor via subclass 482.

    6. What’s next?
    – Contact AITSL to begin a skills assessment for an ANZSCO teaching code
    – If gaps are identified, explore further education options with an approved Australian institution
    – Prepare to take an approved English test
    – Search job boards, ideally requesting opportunities where sponsorship is offered

    7. Using our job search resources
    For roles offering Australia Visa sponsorship, start at 482jobs.com. Even though your background is in teaching, you may find relevant listings there. You can also search Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au), but use search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa teaching” as most jobs there do not automatically include sponsorship.

    Summary
    At present, your credentials are promising but likely not yet equivalent to an Australian teaching qualification.

    Your next key step is applying for an AITSL skills assessment. If approved or with minor study to upgrade, you can then pursue employer-sponsored subclass 482 for teacher roles like Secondary or Middle School Teacher (ANZSCO 241311, 241411).

    I hope this helps clarify the pathway. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions.

    Best wishes for your journey to Australia.

    Regards

    Thanks for sharing, Grace!

    Since you’re targeting roles like ICT Business Analyst or Data Analyst and already have your English test and ACS (Australian Computer Society) skills assessment done, you’re off to a great start.

    Both ICT Business Analyst (ANZSCO 261111) and Data Analyst (generally assessed under ANZSCO 261111 or 261112 – Systems Analyst) are listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). That’s good news, as it means you’re eligible for a range of visa pathways including the subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa, which allows for employer sponsorship.

    To find genuine Australia Visa sponsorship jobs in your field:

    1. Start with https://482jobs.com – this is one of our sites, and every job here has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship.

      Direct ICT job link:
      ICT (Information & Communications Technology) Jobs in Australia

    2. You can also try:

      On these, use filters like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” in your job search, as most listings are not sponsored by default.

    Lastly, ensure your CV is in the Australian format and tailored to local employers. This guide will help:

    Hi Anwar,

    Thanks for sharing more about your background – it’s clear you’ve got solid hands-on experience that’s highly relevant to farm and horticulture work in Australia.

    Your skills in planting, harvesting, fruit picking, and irrigation are exactly the kind of practical experience that many Australian farms look for, especially under the 482 visa in regional areas.

    Roles like “Mixed Crop Farm Worker” (ANZSCO 841999) and “Horticultural Worker” (ANZSCO 841411) can be sponsored through the Temporary Skill Shortage visa, often under regional programs or the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA).

    You’ve got the right attitude and experience. Keep checking 482jobs.com regularly, and don’t forget you can also upload your resume to boost visibility with Australian employers here:

    https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

    Wishing you all the best as you pursue your goal to work in Australia’s farming and horticulture industries!

    It’s great to hear you’re an experienced welder. Welding is a skill that’s often in demand in Australia, and there are opportunities for visa sponsorship through employer-sponsored pathways like the Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482).

    A good place to start is by checking out welding jobs that already offer Australia Visa sponsorship here:
    https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/
    This is one of our websites, and every job listed there has been verified to offer visa sponsorship.

    You can also search other platforms like:
    Seek: https://seek.com.au
    Indeed: https://indeed.com.au
    Just make sure to include search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to filter results.

    To help you better, we’d love to know more about your background — what qualifications you hold, your work experience, and what steps (if any) you’ve already taken toward migrating. Feel free to start a new thread here with those details. https://ozvisaforum.com/post-new-topic/

    Hi Anwar, thanks for sharing your journey – it’s great to have you here!

    It’s fantastic that you’ve already registered on 482jobs.com. Since you’re focused on agriculture and construction, you’re on the right track. Both sectors are in demand in regional Australia and commonly offer Australia Visa sponsorship, especially under the 482 visa (Temporary Skill Shortage).

    We’d love to hear more about your experience in agriculture and construction. Have you worked on farms, in machinery operation, irrigation, or building work? The more details you share, the easier it is for others to guide you.

    You can also check Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au), but keep in mind most jobs there don’t offer visa sponsorship. That’s why we do our best to include roles from both those platforms directly on 482jobs.com — so you can find all genuine Australia Visa sponsorship opportunities in one place.

    Here’s a quick link to agriculture and farm-related jobs on our site: https://482jobs.com/job-category/farming-animals-conservation/

    Feel free to keep posting updates and questions as you move forward. We’re here to support your Australian dream!
