Just replied, mate – if you can keep any questions in the forums please, this way everyone benefits from our exchange 😊

The wait will be worth it, mate, I promise! 😊

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

Mark

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

Hi Aaryan, welcome!

Great to hear you’re exploring Australia Visa sponsorship opportunities. Based on the roles you mentioned, here’s a quick guide:

1. Storekeeper / Warehouse / Store Manager – These roles can sometimes be sponsored, especially under ANZSCO 591115 (Storeperson) and ANZSCO 142111 (Retail Manager). While not always on national occupation lists, some employers may still sponsor these under a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) or regional visa options. Focus your search here:

https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

2. Driver – Roles like delivery drivers and truck drivers fall under ANZSCO 733111 (Truck Driver – General), which appears on some regional occupation lists and DAMAs. Check for regional or remote area jobs where sponsorship is more likely.

3. Cleaner / Housekeeper – Unfortunately, these are not eligible for standard skilled visa sponsorship (subclass 482), as they are not on the MLTSSL, STSOL, or ROL lists. You might find work in these roles once in Australia on another visa, but they are not usually sponsored directly from overseas.

To find verified sponsorship jobs, start with:

https://482jobs.com — all jobs here offer Australia Visa sponsorship

Then try:

https://indeed.com.au

Use keywords like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship” to narrow your search.

Hi Rihan and thanks for your post!

Your job as a Sewing Machinist is classified under ANZSCO 711611. You mentioned 10+ years of experience working with jeans, t-shirts, shirts, and various machine types, which is great.

Here’s what you need to know about visa options:

Visa Sponsorship Eligibility

ANZSCO 711611 – Unfortunately, Sewing Machinist is not included on the main skilled occupation lists used for Australian work visas:

• Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)
• Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
• Regional Occupation List (ROL)

This means you’re not eligible for the standard subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa or other skilled migration visas like 186, 189, 190, or 491 using the regular pathways.

DAMA Pathways

There is still a potential option through a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) — these are special agreements that allow regional employers to sponsor workers in occupations not on the standard lists.

At the moment, ANZSCO 711611 does not appear on any current DAMA occupation list, but this can change. Some textile or garment manufacturers in regional Australia might be open to pursuing DAMA sponsorship if they have difficulty finding local workers.

What You Can Do Now

1. Check 482jobs.com – This is one of our websites. Every job listed here has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship:

https://482jobs.com

2. Submit your resume so Australian employers can find you directly:

https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

3. Search Seek and Indeed, using terms like “visa sponsorship sewing machinist” or “DAMA sewing operator”:

https://seek.com.au

https://indeed.com.au

4. Prepare a strong Australian-style resume to improve your chances:

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

While your path is more limited, opportunities under DAMA may still be possible with the right employer in a regional area.

I hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any further questions about the information I have shared above.

All the best

Hi Edwin, welcome to Oz Visa Forum. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your background – you’ve got excellent experience, especially in substation operations and renewable energy!

Your occupation falls under ANZSCO 341111 – Electrician (General), which is on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List).

This means you’re eligible for a range of skilled visas including:

1. Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) – Australia Visa sponsorship required from an approved employer. Your experience in industrial and solar projects makes you well-suited for:

• Industrial Electrician roles
• Substation Technician
• Renewable Energy and Solar PV Projects

2. Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) – a pathway to permanent residency after working in Australia.

3. Subclass 189 or 190 – points-tested skilled migration. You’ll need a positive skills assessment from Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) and meet minimum points (usually 65+).

4. Subclass 491 or 494 – regional skilled visa options with employer or state sponsorship.

Your C2 Electrical License, diploma, and international work experience should support a strong TRA assessment.

To start applying for jobs offering 482 visa sponsorship, we recommend:

Thanks for your question, Moses!

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) roles can be a bit tricky for Australia Visa sponsorship, as they are not directly listed under a specific ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) title.

However, depending on your background and qualifications, M&E work can often align with the following categories:

1. Program or Project Administrator (ANZSCO 511112)

This is a common match for M&E professionals, especially in the NGO and aid sectors. It’s on the STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List), so sponsorship is possible under a subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa, but only in non-regional areas or via Labour Agreements.

2. Policy Analyst (ANZSCO 224412)

If your M&E work includes developing or evaluating policies, this may be relevant. It appears on the ROL (Regional Occupation List), so visa options could include the subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa or the subclass 191 pathway after that.

3. Statistician (ANZSCO 224113)

Since you mentioned experience in statistics, this might be an option if your role is data-heavy. It’s on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), which allows for broader visa options including the subclass 482, 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme), and potential PR pathways.

4. Education Adviser/Reviewer (ANZSCO 249112)

If your experience in M&E relates heavily to education program evaluation, this occupation might also be considered. It is listed under the ROL, which supports regional visa options.

For job hunting, I recommend starting with:

482jobs.com — One of our other sites. All roles here offer Australia Visa sponsorship, and we’ve done the filtering for you.

You can browse Consulting & Strategy roles here: https://482jobs.com/job-category/consulting-strategy/

Also try: https://seek.com.au and https://indeed.com.au — but use search terms like “visa sponsorship M&E”, “482 visa project evaluation”, or similar to find sponsored jobs.

I hope this helps you target the right roles for visa sponsorship in Australia.
