Hi Mohamed,

Thanks for your post and for sharing your interest in the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482).

Just a quick note for your safety; please avoid sharing sensitive personal information such as your full name, date of birth, email address, phone number, or home address on public forums like this. This kind of information can be misused by scammers or identity thieves. We’ve removed that section for now to protect your privacy.

Now, regarding your expression of interest:

Your background as a forklift operator is definitely relevant for roles in warehousing and logistics, which are in demand in many parts of Australia. To find jobs that offer visa sponsorship:

1. Visit https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites, and all jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship. The Trades & Services job category may suit your experience: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

2. Also check Seek: https://seek.com.au and Indeed: https://indeed.com.au

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend uploading your resume to our database so Australian employers can find you: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

Please feel free to post any more specific questions if you need help with the visa process or job search.

Warm regards,
Mark

Cheers, Dennis – Small disclaimer 😊 Please remember, though the suggestions I make are well researched (based on current Australian migration policies) or based on my own experience (and tools I’ve gathered over the years), I’m not a migration lawyer, so please keep this in mind when making decisions. Other than that – you are very welcome! 👍🏻😊

You are very welcome 🌞

Welcome to our community and thanks for sharing your background, Mermoz. 🙂

With your strong HR and leadership experience across international contexts, you could definitely explore opportunities in Australia in Human Resource Management, HR consulting, and potentially in leadership roles within education or Christian faith-based organisations.

1. HR Management Opportunities: Your background aligns well with the occupation Human Resource Manager (ANZSCO 132311), which is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). This means you may be eligible for skilled visa pathways such as:

Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) Visa

Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) Visa

Subclass 189 or 190 (Skilled Migration) Visas, depending on your points score and state nomination.

To find sponsorship jobs:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites and all jobs listed here offer Australia Visa Sponsorship. You can explore relevant roles under the Consulting category: https://482jobs.com/job-category/consulting-strategy/

2. https://seek.com.au

3. https://indeed.com.au

You can also upload your resume here so recruiters can find you directly: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

2. Leadership Roles in Education: You may also consider roles such as Education Manager (ANZSCO 134499) or Vocational Education Teacher (ANZSCO 242211). These roles can be visa-eligible depending on the exact position and duties.

Explore jobs here:

https://482jobs.com/job-category/education-teaching/

3. Faith-Based Organisations: Leadership positions in Christian organisations may not always fall under the standard skilled occupation lists, but roles in Welfare Centre Management (ANZSCO 134214) or Community Services could apply depending on the exact job description and visa eligibility. These roles often exist within Not-for-Profit or Charity Sponsorship options.

For faith-based and NFP sectors, networking and direct applications are often key. Consider targeting specific Christian organisations and schools in Australia.

I also recommend reading this guide to improve your chances of getting noticed by recruiters: 15 Expert Tips to Get Noticed by Australian Recruiters on LinkedIn – https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin

I hope this helps, Mermoz! Let me know if you’d like help exploring visa options in more detail.

Warm regards, Mark

Thanks Alma, I’m really pleased that was helpful. ☺️ On 482jobs we have a small (paid) team who manually identify, validate and reshare the sponsored roles they find from across over 30 job sites and company employment boards.

As such, although anyone can view the jobs, we do charge a small membership fee to unlock / apply for these roles (unless an employer has paid to advertise in which case the jobs are advertised without any restrictions).

Memberships start at <$1 but if you’d prefer, the other sites I mentioned earlier (seek and indeed) can be utilised for free though you’ll need to spend a little more time filtering out the jobs not offering Visa sponsorship. (These fees also support our free sites such as this one at Oz Visa Forum) 🙂

I hope this helps

Regards

Thanks for the extra detail Alma Mae, thats very helpful.

Based on your experience, your background seems to aligns most closely with general administrative or clerical roles, rather than any of the specialised finance occupations that typically appear on the skilled occupation lists for visa sponsorship.

Unfortunately, general admin and clerical jobs like Office Assistant, Admin Officer, or similar roles aren’t usually eligible for employer-sponsored visas like the Subclass 482 unless they’re being filled under a labour agreement such as a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement).

These are region-specific and often require a sponsoring employer to demonstrate labour shortages.

To explore your chances:

Check the sites above (we do sometimes publish Admin related roles on 482jobs)

You might want to check regional jobs under DAMAs, where some admin-type roles are sometimes included.

Alternatively, consider building qualifications or gaining experience in an occupation that appears on the MLTSSL or STSOL, such as Accountant (ANZSCO 221111) or External Auditor (ANZSCO 221213), if you’re open to further study or career shifts.

Note I share this based on the information you have provided, though you might benefit from a 1:1 assessment with a migration agent who can do a more detailed deep dive with you. We can refer you to a qualified agent if you would like a 1:1 assessment call although please note they do charge a small free for this service.

Warm regards,

Mark

Welcome to our community Dennis, and thanks for introducing yourself! ☺️

You’re asking some excellent questions, and I’m happy to go through them with you.

1) Any chance of me getting PR?

Unfortunately, for general skilled migration (subclass 189 or 190), the maximum age at the time of invitation is 45. Since you’re already 45, you would not be eligible for these PR pathways.

However, employer-sponsored options are still open.

The Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) does not have a strict age cap for those earning above the Fair Work High Income Threshold (FWHIT) or in other exemption cases. You might also consider a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482), which can lead to permanent residency.

2) For Sponsorship Visa

I) Are there any people migrated to Australia with my experience and age?

Yes, absolutely. Many individuals over 45 have successfully moved to Australia through employer sponsorship, especially when they bring strong experience like yours in customer service management. As our community continues to grow, hopefully we can have someone provide some direct input/feedback.

II) Where to start applying?

Here are some options:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites and all jobs listed here offer Australia visa sponsorship.

2. https://seek.com.au – The largest job board in Australia.

3. https://indeed.com.au – Another widely used platform.

For seek and Indeed you will need to filter your results to identify the sponsored roles as they advertise both sponsored and non-sponsored positions.

Your job background sounds like it aligns with ANZSCO 149212 – Customer Service Manager. I recommend also uploading your resume to: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ – Australian recruiters use this to find skilled candidates for sponsored roles.

Also, you might like to search our forums for other members who have listed “customer service” in their occupation, so you can connect, follow their activity, and learn from their experiences. Here’s a direct search link: https://ozvisaforum.com/?s=Customer+service&bp_search=1&view=content

III) Do I need a job offer first?

Yes. For employer-sponsored visas like the TSS 482, you must first secure a job offer from an approved sponsor. The job boards mentioned above will help you find those opportunities.

Also, take a look at these two helpful resources:

Resume tips for Australian jobs: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

How to get noticed on LinkedIn by Australian recruiters: https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin

I hope you found this information helpful Dennis. If you have more questions or need help with the next steps, feel free to post again.

Hi Sheethal,

You’re very welcome. Great follow-up questions. 😊

1. Coming on a Visitor Visa and Seeking Work:
This is a very common question, and it’s important to understand the risks involved.

You can come to Australia on a Visitor Visa (subclass 600) to explore the country and attend job interviews, but you are not legally allowed to work or engage in activities that could be seen as work, such as trial shifts. Also:

• If you receive a job offer while on a visitor visa, you cannot start working until you’ve applied for and been granted a valid work visa.

• You also cannot apply for most work visas (like the 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa) while you are in Australia on a visitor visa due to section 48 bar and onshore application restrictions. This means in most cases you would need to leave Australia to apply for a work visa offshore.

• Immigration may view seeking employment on a visitor visa negatively if it’s seen as your main intention, which could affect future visa applications.

So while a visit can be useful to understand the job market and attend interviews, it’s essential to stay within the visa rules.

2. Help from Your Paternal Uncle:
Having a paternal uncle in Sydney may offer personal support and possibly accommodation while you visit, but unfortunately it doesn’t provide any direct migration benefit unless he is an Australian citizen or permanent resident and you’re applying under very specific family pathways (which generally apply to parents, partners or children).

If your uncle owns a business and is willing to sponsor you for a role that matches your experience and is on the skilled occupation lists, that could be explored, but it must meet all the visa and sponsorship requirements.

I hope that clarifies things. Let me know if you’d like help understanding any specific visa subclasses that may suit your profile.

Warm regards,
Mark
