Hi Anna, and welcome to our community 👋🙂.

Great to hear you’re exploring options to migrate to Australia.

With over 8 years of experience in commercial real estate and 3 years as a Data Quality Analyst, you’re on the right track with ANZSCO 224114.

I’ve reviewed the latest occupations lists and based on this, here’s an overview of the visa pathways available for your occupation:

1. Skills in Demand (SID) Visa (Subclass 482 – Core Skills Stream)

Your occupation is currently listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), which makes you eligible for the new SID visa. This temporary visa allows employers to sponsor overseas workers for up to 4 years.

Key requirements include:

• Job offer from an approved Australian employer
• At least 1 year of relevant work experience
• Meeting the Annual Market Salary Rate and Core Skills Income Threshold
• English language proficiency
• Skills assessment, if required

More info: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skills-in-demand-visa-subclass-482

2. Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186 – Direct Entry Stream)

This is a permanent residency option and your occupation is eligible. You’ll need:

• A job offer and nomination from an Australian employer
• At least 3 years of relevant experience
• A positive skills assessment
• Competent English

3. Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

This points-based permanent visa doesn’t require employer sponsorship. You must:

• Have your occupation on the relevant skilled list
• Pass a points test
• Have a positive VETASSESS skills assessment
• Meet English language standards

4. Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

Another permanent visa, but requires state or territory nomination. South Australia (Adelaide) runs its own skilled program. You’ll need:

• A positive skills assessment
• To meet points and English thresholds
• State nomination

5. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491)

This visa is for skilled workers wanting to live and work in regional Australia, including Adelaide. You can be sponsored by a family member or nominated by a regional state or territory. After 3 years, it may lead to permanent residency (Subclass 191).

Thanks for sharing, Mercy and welcome to our community! 👋😊

To find jobs that offer sponsorship:

   https://482jobs.com/job-category/healthcare-medical/

2. https://seek.com.au – A popular Australian job site. Most roles don’t offer sponsorship by default, so be sure to include keywords like “sponsorship” in your search.

3. https://indeed.com.au – Same as above. Use terms like “visa sponsorship” when searching for suitable roles.

Also, you can upload your resume to 482jobs.com here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

Hi Clever,

Thanks for the follow-up, and you’re very welcome!

To clarify, you cannot apply for a subclass 186 visa on your own without an Australian employer nominating you. The Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) is an employer-sponsored visa and has two main streams:

1. Direct Entry stream – for applicants who have a positive skills assessment and at least 3 years of relevant work experience

2. Temporary Residence Transition stream – for those who have worked with their sponsoring employer on a 482 visa for at least 2 years

Based on your details:

• You have a valid skills assessment (issued less than 3 years ago, so it’s still current)

• You meet the IELTS requirement (minimum band 5 in each, overall 6)

• You have over 12 years of experience

• You are 35 years old, which is within the age limit (under 45)

So yes, you’re eligible in principle for the subclass 186, but you must first find an employer willing to sponsor you.

In addition to the 186, you may also be eligible for independent skilled migration through these visas:

1. Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) – does not require employer or state sponsorship

2. Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) – requires nomination by a state or territory government

3. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) – requires either state nomination or family sponsorship in regional Australia

Your occupation, Fitter (General) – ANZSCO 323211, is on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), making you eligible for all of these options.

These visas are points-tested. To apply, you need to:

• Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect

• Meet the minimum score of 65 points (although higher scores are more competitive)

• Hold a valid skills assessment and meet English and age requirements

If you’d like help estimating your points, the tool available here is useful. Select ‘189 visa’ from the options on the landing page, then follow the prompts and questions.

You’re definitely on the right track. Continue to push forward and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions

Kind regards,

Hi Clever,

Thanks for your post and welcome to our community!

Yes, based on your background as a qualified Fitter and Turner, you’re potentially eligible for an employer-sponsored visa.

Your occupation, Fitter (General), falls under ANZSCO 323211, which is currently listed on both the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List) and the ROL (Regional Occupation List). This means it is eligible for several skilled visa options, including:

1. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) – This requires employer sponsorship. With a 6.0 IELTS overall score, you meet the minimum English language requirement.

2. Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494) – For positions in regional Australia.

3. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) – A permanent visa option, though this usually requires at least three years of relevant experience and employer nomination.

To secure sponsorship, your next step is to find an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.

Here are the best places to start your job search:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our websites, and all jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship. The job category for your trade is here:
   https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

2. https://seek.com.au – One of Australia’s largest job boards. You will need to add search terms like “sponsorship” to filter relevant jobs.

3. https://indeed.com.au – Another major job site. Again, include terms like “482 visa” or “sponsorship” when searching.

Also, make sure your resume is formatted for Australian employers. Here’s a helpful guide:
https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

You can also upload your resume here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

I hope this gives you a good start. Please let me know if you’d like further assistance with understanding visa pathways.

Hi Gangadhar, thanks for sharing your background. Your qualifications and experience as a Welder are highly relevant for skilled migration and employer sponsorship in Australia.

This occupation is currently listed on the Regional Occupation List (ROL), which supports employer-sponsored visas such as:

1. Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa), a short-term work visa for up to 4 years

2. Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa), a regional pathway that can lead to permanent residency

3. Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme visa), direct entry stream is possible if you’re nominated by an eligible employer and meet criteria, including skills assessment and English

Given your PTE Academic scores (overall 50), you meet the minimum English requirement for Subclass 482.

However, for Subclass 186 or 494, a higher English level may be required, typically a score equivalent to IELTS 6 in each band (PTE 50 in each component).

Hi Craig, thanks for your post and welcome to the forum!

It sounds like you’ve had a really interesting and diverse career across civil works, oil and gas, and even nuclear power, which is quite rare. To point you in the right direction for visa sponsorship and employment opportunities, I’d like to ask a bit more about your recent work history.

In Australia, occupations are classified under something called the ANZSCO system. That stands for the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations.

Each job type is assigned a code and description. This helps the Department of Home Affairs determine eligibility for skilled visas, including employer-sponsored visas like the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482).

If you can let me know:

• Your most recent or main job title

• Key tasks or duties you’ve performed

• Any formal qualifications or tickets you hold

I can then identify the closest ANZSCO code that matches your experience and explain the visa options that might be available. That will also help with directing you to sponsored job opportunities in your field.

In the meantime, to search for jobs that offer sponsorship:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our websites, and all jobs listed here offer Australia Visa Sponsorship. You might want to check out this category, which could suit your background in trades and civil work: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

2. https://seek.com.au

3. https://indeed.com.au

I’d also recommend uploading your resume to 482jobs so recruiters can find you directly: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

We look forward to learning more about your background so we can provide you with the best guidance.

All the best,
Mark

Hi Mehwish, I’m unsure what you mean about a certificate?

All of the websites I shared are used by 1000s of people so it’s strange you are getting any errors.

If you can explain a little more about what’s happening, I’ll be happy to double check.

To find jobs that offer sponsorship:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites and all jobs listed here offer Australia Visa Sponsorship. You may want to browse this ICT-specific category: https://482jobs.com/job-category/information-communications-technology/

Thanks for sharing your LinkedIn profile, Mehwish!

You’ve made a great start, but to increase your chances of being noticed by Australian recruiters, I’d recommend updating your profile to focus more clearly on the skills and experience that align with roles likely to offer visa sponsorship, such as aged care, childcare, or teaching support roles.

We’ve put together a helpful guide here that includes practical tips to improve your LinkedIn profile for the Australian job market:

Thanks for the extra details, Mehwish!

Your 6 years of tutoring experience in English and science is helpful to know. However, please note that informal home tuition usually isn’t recognised for skilled visa programs unless it’s supported by formal teaching qualifications and employment references.

For childcare or aged care roles, employers typically prefer candidates with formal certifications like a Certificate III in Individual Support or Early Childhood Education, which can sometimes be obtained after arriving in Australia on a student or working holiday visa.

If you’re open to entry-level care or hospitality work, you might explore employer-sponsored opportunities in regional areas where there is higher demand. Here’s how you can start:

1. Check 482 jobs – This is one of our websites where every listing offers visa sponsorship: https://482jobs.com
   You might also find suitable roles under these categories:

   • Healthcare & Medical: https://482jobs.com/job-category/healthcare-medical/

   • Hospitality & Tourism: https://482jobs.com/job-category/hospitality-tourism/

2. Search on:

   • https://seek.com.au (filter your search by adding terms such as sponsorship)

   • https://indeed.com.au (filter as suggested by seek as both seek and indeed advertise sponsored and non sponsored roles).

3. Upload your resume here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/
   Australian recruiters search this database regularly, and it’s a great way to get noticed.

Finally, if you’re serious about skilled migration in future, consider formalising your experience through recognised training or certifications. This can improve your chances significantly.

Wishing you all the best in your job search, Mehwish. Let us know if you have any follow up questions.

Kind regards,
Mark
