Hi Jeva, welcome to our community and thank you so much for sharing your story. Your resilience and positive attitude are awesome, and it’s wonderful to hear about your dream of starting a new chapter in Australia. 🤗

In Australia, most skilled and employer-sponsored visas are linked to your occupation. The government uses a system called ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations), which classifies jobs and determines which ones are eligible for different visa types. To help guide you properly, we’d love to know more about your career history, for example:

• Job titles you’ve held
• Types of tasks you did
• Any formal training or qualifications

This information will help us match you to an appropriate ANZSCO occupation and check if it appears on any skilled occupation lists, such as:

MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List)

STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List)

ROL (Regional Occupation List)

Or via special regional agreements called DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreements)

If you’re open to any kind of work to get started, we recommend looking for employer-sponsored roles. 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.

2. https://seek.com.au

3. https://indeed.com.au

Once we know more about your background, we can guide you on potential visa options and job pathways. You’re also welcome to upload your resume to 482 Jobs here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ — recruiters use this to find candidates for sponsored roles.

We’re really glad to have you here, Jeva, and we’re happy to help every step of the way. 🙂

Looking forward to hearing more about your work experience.

Warm regards,

Mark

Hey Ahadun, thank you for your reply.

I created Ozvisaforum to help support people online. I was getting a lot of emails, and providing support via email just wasn’t viable.

You can read more about our story here. 😊

If you can explain here, then I can help. You don’t need to provide detailed personal information, just high-level information about your occupation, so we can assist you.

If you would rather have 1:1 personal support, I’d suggest reaching out to an Australian registered migration agent – we have an agent you can reach out to for an initial assessment, though they do charge for this service. See here for more information.

Thanks for your understanding

Regards

Hi Frederick,

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome! Great to hear about your experience in mining—Australia has a strong demand for skilled tradespeople in this sector, especially in regional and mining areas.

To start your journey toward relocating to Australia, here’s a step-by-step outline tailored to your role as a Mechanical Technician:

1. Check Your Occupation Eligibility: Mechanical Engineering Technician is classified under ANZSCO 312512. This occupation is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which can lead to temporary and permanent visa pathways.

2. Skills Assessment: You’ll need a positive skills assessment to apply for skilled migration. For your occupation, the assessing authority is Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). You can find more details on their official site: https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au

3. English Language Test You’ll need to take an approved English test, such as IELTS, PTE Academic, or TOEFL iBT. To meet most visa requirements, aim for at least a score of 6 in each band (IELTS equivalent).

4. Visa Pathways Since your occupation is on the MLTSSL, possible visa options include:

   • Subclass 189 Skilled Independent visa (permanent, points-tested)

   • Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent, requires state nomination)

   • Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa

   • Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa (requires employer sponsorship)

5. Find a Job with Sponsorship. You can increase your chances significantly by securing employer sponsorship. Start your job search here:

   • https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites, and all jobs listed here offer Australia visa sponsorship. For your trade, the job category might be helpful: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

   • https://seek.com.au

   • https://indeed.com.au

   Also consider uploading your resume to 482jobs.com to be seen by Australian recruiters: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

6. Prepare an Australian-Style Resume. Formatting your resume to Australian standards is important. This article can help:
   Australia Resume Tips: Craft a Winning Resume in Australia

Once you have your skills assessed and meet the other criteria, you can explore lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect if you’re aiming for skilled migration, or apply directly for employer-sponsored visas if you secure a job offer.

I hope this gives you a solid starting point. As you proceed, feel free to ask more questions.

Best of luck with your plans to develop your career in Australia! 🦘😊

Hi Ahadun,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the community! 😊

Based on your post, it sounds like you’ve worked in seafood export/import. That’s a great starting point, but to give you the best advice on moving to Australia for work, we’ll need a little more detail.

Could you please let us know:

• Your current job title and day-to-day responsibilities

• Whether you have any formal qualifications or certifications

• Your level of English (have you taken any tests like IELTS or PTE?)

• Any experience working overseas or with Australian companies

Also, let us know if you’re looking to work in a hands-on seafood processing role, logistics, management, or perhaps even business operations. There might be several potential visa options depending on your role.

Once we know more, we’ll be able to guide you on potential visa pathways and job opportunities.

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Warm regards,
Mark

Hi Jake, thanks for your post and welcome to our community 🤗

With your background there are a few potential pathways to Australian residency, especially via employer sponsorship or skilled migration.

1. Employer Sponsored Visas Based on your ICT and cybersecurity experience, these ANZSCO codes are worth exploring:

261112 Systems Analyst

262112 ICT Security Specialist

263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer

The ICT Security Specialist (ANZSCO 262112) is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which makes you eligible for both temporary and permanent visa options.

Visa options:

Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa – Subclass 482: A popular pathway for sponsored employment. This visa can lead to permanent residency after 2–3 years depending on the stream.

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) – Subclass 186: Direct PR option if you’re nominated by an employer and meet eligibility.

Skilled Independent (subclass 189) or Skilled Nominated (subclass 190): Based on a points test. You may be eligible if your occupation is on the MLTSSL and you pass a skills assessment.

2. Where to Find Sponsored Jobs To find jobs that offer sponsorship:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites, and all jobs listed here offer Australian visa sponsorship. The ICT job category may be suitable for you: https://482jobs.com/job-category/information-communications-technology/

2. https://seek.com.au

3. https://indeed.com.au

The latter two websites list both sponsored and none sponsored roles so some filtering will be required (add sponsorship as part of your search criteria).

Next Steps

Consider doing a skills assessment through ACS (Australian Computer Society): https://www.acs.org.au

Start applying for jobs that offer sponsorship, and upload your resume to https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ to get noticed by recruiters.

You might also benefit from formatting your resume and LinkedIn profile to Australian standards. Here’s a helpful article: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

Finally. I recommend reviewing some of the posts by our community member @tommy as he is also from the US and works in a similar industry. He’s also recently received an invitation to apply so is a little way ahead of you from a process perspective so his experiences might be useful. You can check out some of his posts here.

That’s a lot of info but I hope this gives you a clear starting point, Jake! 🙂

Let me know if you’d like help with anything else.

Thanks mate and you are correct about the initial redirection. The intent is to make the dashboard page a little more accessible as clicking on our website logo now takes you to this location when you are logged in. The benefit of a personal ‘homepage’ is it’s customised for the user so hopefully it should be much more helpful then our generic website homepage when logged in. 👍🏻

[Mark]

No worries at all Aliya. Happy to help where we can. 🙂

[Mark]

Thank you Paul and no worries at all. Happy to help if you have any further questions 🙂

[Mark]

Hi Aliya,

Thanks for the update, and no worries at all, life gets busy! 🙂

Sorry to hear your EOI was cancelled. That can happen if it’s been active for 12 months without being updated or selected. It’s good that your agency plans to resubmit it, but this might also be a good opportunity to reassess your approach.

You mentioned they selected Financial Adviser as your nominated occupation. This aligns with ANZSCO 222311 – Financial Investment Adviser, which is currently on the STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List). This means it is not eligible for the Subclass 189 (Independent) visa, but can be considered for:

Subclass 190 (State Nominated) – depending on state demand and eligibility

Subclass 491 (Regional Nominated) – often with more flexibility

Here’s what you can do from your end:

1. Check your EOI points score – If you’re under 65 points, you won’t be eligible for a visa invitation. You may be able to increase your score by improving your English test results or claiming more points for work experience.

2. Ask your agent if they’ve applied for any state nominations on your behalf, especially under Subclass 190 or 491. Some states occasionally invite Financial Advisers depending on demand.

3. Confirm your skill assessment outcome. Was it completed by the Financial Adviser assessing body, such as the Financial Adviser Standards body (FASEA) or another authority?

4. Stay proactive – Even if your agency is managing the process, it’s important to be aware of key dates and updates.

I’m happy to help you explore which states might consider nominating Financial Advisers if you’d like to share your EOI points and other details.

I hope this gives some clarity, and I’m here to help if you need more support.

Regards

Mark

Hi Aliya,

Thanks for the update! Great to hear that your skill assessment is done through VETASSESS and your state nomination application has been submitted.

With a score of 65, you may have better chances under the Subclass 190 (State Nominated Visa) or Subclass 491 (Regional Nominated Visa) rather than the 189 visa.

To answer your question:

If you are applying under Subclass 190, this is a permanent residency (PR) visa. Once granted, you’ll arrive in Australia as a permanent resident.

If you are applying under Subclass 491, this is a temporary visa valid for 5 years, but it offers a pathway to PR after 3 years if you meet income and residency requirements.

So yes, if your application is for Subclass 190, there is no need to apply for PR separately later. You’ll hold permanent residency from day one.

Let me know which subclass your agency applied under, and I can give you more specific advice.

Wishing you all the best as you move forward in the process!

Regards

Mark
