    Hi Sajid, thanks for introducing yourself and sharing your goals.

    I just want to gently explain that Australia Visa sponsorship is usually available for skilled roles that require either a formal qualification or at least two years of full-time experience. Jobs like packing or dishwashing unfortunately don’t meet the criteria for a sponsored visa, which is why you won’t see those types of roles listed with visa sponsorship.

    That said, there might be other options. For example, if you have any other skills or experience — like in trades, hospitality, aged care, or farming — there could be more opportunities available. Feel free to share more details about your background so we can guide you better.

    Also, your profile doesn’t mention where you currently live. Depending on your location and age, a Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417 or 462) might be an option — but this is only available to passport holders from certain countries and has an age limit.

    To explore jobs that do offer Australia Visa sponsorship, visit our job board here: https://482jobs.com

    I hope this helps and really encourage you to keep going. Let us know more about your background so we can help find the best pathway for you.

    All the best

    Thanks for your post, Marlver and welcome! 🙂

    You’re in a strong position with a positive skills assessment from VETASSESS for University Lecturer (ANZSCO 242111). That occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which is great news — it means you may be eligible for several skilled visa options, including:

    1. Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa) – This requires a job offer from an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you. It’s often the most practical first step.

    2. Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) – A permanent visa, but again, it requires employer sponsorship.

    3. Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent visa) – A points-tested permanent visa. You don’t need a sponsor, but competition is high.

    4. Subclass 190 or 491 (State or Regional Sponsorship) – These may offer better odds, especially if you can target regional universities.

    Since your key challenge is securing employer sponsorship, here’s how to boost your chances:

    Start with https://482jobs.com – every job listed here has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship. For university-level roles, check this category: https://482jobs.com/job-category/education-teaching/

    Also check Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au), but use search filters like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa”.

    Make sure your CV is tailored to the Australian format: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

    Upload your resume to improve visibility with Australian employers: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

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

    Not having a PhD doesn’t exclude you from sponsorship, especially at teaching-focused or regional universities. Highlight your practical experience, publications (if any), and teaching achievements.

    If direct university roles are limited, consider applying for related education or training positions that still fall under your ANZSCO code — or explore DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) regions, which may offer more flexibility.

    I hope this gives you a clear path forward. Reach out anytime with more questions — wishing you the best of luck on your journey to Australia!

    All the best

    Thanks for your message, Furqan and welcome to our community 🙂

    Based on your description as a “paint master,” your work likely falls under the ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code 332211 – Painting Trades Worker.

    This occupation is currently on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), which means it is eligible for Australia Visa sponsorship under the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa, provided an Australian employer is willing to sponsor you.

    To find jobs offering Australia Visa sponsorship in your trade, start here:

    482jobs.com – This is one of our websites, and every job listed here has been verified to offer Australia Visa sponsorship: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

    You can also check:

    Just remember, most jobs there don’t offer sponsorship, so always search with keywords like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship.”

    Also, consider uploading your resume to 482jobs so Australian employers can find you: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

    I hope this helps, Furqan. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey to Australia! Feel free to post more questions anytime.

    Hi Lyndon, good questionb mate!

    To get a White Card (officially called the General Construction Induction Card), you must be physically in Australia when you complete the course, even if it’s offered online.

    That’s because:

    • The course includes identity checks that must be done while you’re in Australia.

    • Training providers are required by law to confirm you’re located in Australia during the training.

    So, unfortunately, you can’t complete the White Card course from overseas. 🤨

    If you’re planning to come to Australia on a visa that allows work (like a sponsored 482 visa), you can do the White Card training as soon as you arrive. It usually only takes a day and costs around AUD $100–150.

    Hope this clears things up! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards

    Thanks for your post, Dr. Ehsani.

    Veterinary Surgeons (ANZSCO 234711) are actually in high demand across all of Australia, not just in regional areas. So while the DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) visa is a valid option, it’s typically used to help fill roles that are harder to source in cities.

    In your case, you may have broader options, including the standard Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482) or even the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186), depending on the employer.

    To find jobs in Australia that offer visa sponsorship for veterinary roles, start with:

    You can also try:

    Just be sure to search using terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to filter your results.

    You can also submit your resume here to increase visibility with Australian employers: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

    I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out with more questions anytime. Best of luck on your journey to Australia!

    Hi Luke,

    Great to hear from you again, mate, and thanks for the update. 😊

    Pursuing a degree in sports, exercise and health science with the aim of becoming a secondary school teacher is a promising pathway. Teaching is regularly listed on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List, particularly in fields such as science, health, and physical education.

    To be eligible for visa sponsorship in the future, here are some steps to consider:

    • Complete your degree and then undertake a postgraduate teaching qualification such as a Graduate Diploma in Education or a PGCE equivalent.

    • Gain registration and experience as a qualified teacher, as both are usually required for skills assessments.

    • Once qualified, you may become eligible for skilled visas such as the Skilled Independent (Subclass 189), Skilled Nominated (190), or Skilled Work Regional (491).

    New Zealand also has clear teacher pathways through its Green List of occupations, I believe.

    If you have any questions to support your potential new career path here in Oz, please let me know.

    All the best

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for the detailed update. You’ve done a fantastic job navigating a complex and often frustrating process. I know how mentally draining the waiting can be, especially when you’ve already gone above and beyond in preparing your application.

    Based on everything you’ve shared, here’s my advice:

    1. You’ve Taken All the Right Steps
    You responded promptly to the NSW request for more information, clearly explained your employment status, and then proactively followed up with a complete, well-organised evidence pack. That’s exactly what a case officer would expect from a diligent applicant. The lack of response so far is not unusual — in many cases, officers will not reply directly but will simply assess the information when ready.

    2. No Need to Update Your EOI at This Stage
    There is no benefit to updating your EOI at this point. The invitation you received was based on your EOI at the time of selection. Any edits now would not affect your current nomination process and could create confusion. You’ve already included a clear statement with your nomination application to explain your points, claim, and your understanding of the deemed skilled date. That’s more than sufficient.

    3. The Additional Evidence Strengthens Your Case
    It was a smart move to submit your full self-employment evidence pack. The 50-page PDF clearly reinforces your claim to 3+ years of post-qualification skilled employment and supports the 5 points you claimed in your EOI. You have also made it clear that your total experience is 5 years and 2 months, but that you are only claiming points for the post-deemed skilled portion, which is both transparent and aligned with Home Affairs’ expectations.

    4. What Happens Next
    It’s very common for nomination decisions to take longer than 6 weeks, particularly around the end of the financial year as quotas close and resources shift. You’re well within a reasonable timeframe, and it’s also very likely your additional documents are being reviewed now. If the NSW team needs anything further, they will reach out to you, and you’ll have the opportunity to respond.

    5. While You’re Travelling
    Try to enjoy your trip, you’ve done the hard work. If you’ll be out of signal for long stretches, consider:

    • Setting up an auto-forward rule in your email to someone you trust.

    • Checking your ImmiAccount and email periodically when possible, even if just once a week.

    But most importantly, don’t stress about your EOI or documents now. You’ve submitted a thorough, well-documented application and taken all reasonable steps to support your case. The next move is in their hands.

    Let me know if you hear back before your trip or if you have any further questions

    All the best
