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/
Recruiters browse this database for sponsorship-ready candidates every month.

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

Regards,
Mark

Thanks for sharing your background, Hector.

Your occupation, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic (ANZSCO 342111), is in strong demand in Australia and is listed on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List). This makes you eligible for a range of skilled visa options including:

• 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa

• 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa

• 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa

• Pathways under various DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreements)

Since you’ve completed a full VETASSESS skills assessment for this trade in April 2025, you’re well-positioned for sponsorship.

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. The job category for your trade is directly available here: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

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

It’s really about pointing you to the right resources, Joel – I made the move myself from the UK to Australia already and have been providing resources to others doing the same since 2006. (You can read more about how we came about here) .

With that said, I can act as a guide and point you to official resources, but I am not a qualified migration agent.

I can refer you to a reputable, qualified agent if you would prefer a 1:1 discussion over a video call to walk through your options. Click here for more details on the Migration agent and their assessment service if you are interested.

Fair enough, mate, and it may be!

You’re doing the right things, though sometimes it’s just about tweaking a few details to improve your chances.

Since you mentioned your CV might be the issue, here are some key tips from our guide I linked earlier that might help you stand out to Australian employers:

• Keep it concise – Ideally 2 to 3 pages maximum.

• Exclude overly personal details – No need to include your age, religion, marital status or a photograph.

• Start with a strong personal summary – 3 to 4 lines highlighting your trade skills, experience, and career goals.

• Focus on relevant experience – Tailor your resume to highlight tasks and responsibilities that match the job you’re applying for.

• Include your tools and technical skills – Aussie employers love to see specific machinery, tools, or systems you’ve worked with.

• Use plain formatting – Avoid fancy designs, just keep it clean, simple, and easy to read.

• List qualifications clearly – Especially any trade certifications, apprenticeships, or safety training.

Assuming you have also already uploaded your CV to our resume database at https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/,. Continue to apply and refine as you progress. Many have been in your shoes and found success with just one good application.

Let me know if you’d like help reviewing your CV or preparing for job interviews.
