Welcome Mphoentle and thanks for your question.

Your background, coupled with your experience and MBA studies, certainly makes you a good candidate for security management roles in Australia.

To find job opportunities with visa sponsorship, I recommend starting with 482jobs.com. This is one of our sites, and we recommend it because all listed jobs there offer sponsorship. You can also check Seek and Indeed for broader job listings.

Since security management roles may not always be on the skilled occupation lists for independent skilled migration, employer sponsorship (e.g., Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa) could be your best option.

Networking through LinkedIn and industry groups like ASIAL (Australian Security Industry Association Limited) can also help.

If you would like guidance on specific visas or skills assessments, please let me know. I’d be happy to help!

Regards,
Mark

Hello Charuhas, I’d say it depends on the platforms you have experience developing software in.,

Software development can be completed offshore, so the appetite to sponsor can be quite low.

1. The most common employer-sponsored visas for IT professionals are:

   • Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) – Requires a job offer from an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you.
   • Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186) – A permanent visa for skilled workers sponsored by an employer.
   • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494) – For regional employment opportunities.

2. Apply for jobs with sponsorship – You can find employers offering visa sponsorship through:

   • https://482jobs.com – All jobs listed here offer sponsorship.
   • https://seek.com.au – Use keywords like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship.”
   • https://indeed.com.au – Another useful job search site.

3. Consider independent skilled migration – If you meet the eligibility criteria, you may qualify for a visa without employer sponsorship:

   • Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – A points-based visa for occupations on the MLTSSL.
   • Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – Requires state nomination.
   • Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491) – For regional areas.

4. Get your skills assessed – If applying for a skilled visa, you’ll need a skills assessment from the Australian Computer Society (ACS): http://www.acs.org.au.

5. Improve your chances – Enhance your employability by gaining experience in in-demand IT fields such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, or AI. Certifications (e.g., AWS, Azure, PMP) can also help.

If you would you like help determining which visa best suits your profile? Let me know a little more about your occupation, skills and experience.

All the best

Hi Alejandro, welcome to our community and thanks for your post and for sharing your background!

Your experience in farming and machinery operation could make you a strong candidate for visa-sponsored work in Australia.

I recommend searching for farm-related sponsorship jobs on 482jobs.com: https://482jobs.com

Additionally, I suggest uploading your resume to our resume database here: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

This way, Australian recruiters looking for skilled farmworkers can find your profile and potentially reach out to you.

If you are under 35 a work and holiday visa could be an option as this would also allow you to gain experience which might increase your chances of Australia Visa Sponsorship.

Given your age, might this also be an option. If so, I can provide more information if you like?

I hope this helps, and I wish you the best in your job search! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi John, welcome to our community! ☺️

It’s great to hear you’re considering a career in urban planning in Australia!

Urban and Regional Planner (ANZSCO 232611) is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which means there are solid visa options available for both temporary work and permanent residency.

Study Pathway and Employment Prospects

If you complete your master’s in Australia, it should not significantly disadvantage you compared to those who studied their bachelor’s degree here.

Many international students take this route, and employers primarily focus on skills, experience, and accreditation rather than where you completed your undergraduate degree.

Urban Planner Australia Visa Options

1. Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485 – Post-Study Work Stream)

After completing a master’s degree in Australia, you can apply for this visa, which allows you to stay and work for up to three years.

2. Skilled Migration (189/190/491 Visas)

Urban planning is on the MLTSSL, so you may be eligible for a Skilled Independent (Subclass 189) visa or a state-nominated (Subclass 190) visa.

3. Employer-Sponsored Visas (482 Visa leading to 186 PR pathway)

If you secure a job with an employer willing to sponsor you, the Temporary Skill Shortage (Subclass 482) visa is another option, with pathways to permanent residency via the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186).

Job Market for Urban Planners in Australia

The demand for urban planners is generally strong in Australia, particularly in growing cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, as well as regional areas experiencing expansion.

Employers do value local experience, though, so internships or part-time roles during your master’s program can help boost your employability.

Advice for Navigating the Australia Job Market

Gain practical experience through internships or part-time work while studying.

Consider networking with industry professionals via Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) – http://www.planning.org.au.

Look for jobs on https://482jobs.com (our job board featuring visa-sponsored roles), https://seek.com.au, and https://indeed.com.au.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Sharon and welcome to our community. Thank you for your question.🙂

You’re correct that many skilled migration pathways, like the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) and Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), have an age limit of 45.

However, there are still potential options for migrating to Australia as a software engineer.

Here are a few pathways you might consider:

1. National Innovation Visa (subclass 858): This visa targets exceptionally talented individuals across various sectors.

While specific eligibility criteria are still emerging, it may be worth exploring if your professional achievements align with Australia’s innovation priorities.

2. Employer-Sponsored Visas:

Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482): If an Australian employer is willing to sponsor you, this visa allows you to work in Australia temporarily.

It can serve as a pathway to permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186).

3. Regional Opportunities:

Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491): This visa allows skilled workers to live and work in designated regional areas of Australia.

It requires nomination by a state or territory government or sponsorship by an eligible relative residing in a regional area.

4. Partner Visa: If your spouse qualifies for a visa with fewer restrictions, you might consider migrating as their dependent.

To assess your eligibility and explore these options further, I recommend:

Skills Assessment: Obtain a skills assessment from the Australian Computer Society (ACS) to validate your qualifications and experience.

Job Search: Explore job opportunities with potential sponsorship. Our platform, https://482jobs.com , lists roles with confirmed visa sponsorship. Additionally, platforms like Seek.com.au and Indeed.com.au can be valuable resources.

Professional Consultation: Engage with a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer to receive tailored advice based on your specific circumstances. We have a great agent we can refer you to though they will charge a fee for an initial assessment call.

I hope this information provides clarity on your potential pathways to Australia.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

All the best

G’day Martin and welcome!

Firstly, congratulations on your Subclass 190 visa approval! That’s great news!

To work as a teacher in New South Wales (NSW), you will need to go through the teacher registration process with the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA). Here are the key steps:

1. Apply for Accreditation with NESA – You need to apply for accreditation as a teacher in NSW through NESA. Your UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) may help with recognition, but NESA will assess your qualifications and determine your eligibility. You can apply here: https://www.nswteachers.nesa.nsw.edu.au.

2. Obtain a Working with Children Check (WWCC) – Before you can teach, you must obtain a WWCC clearance from the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian. Apply here: https://ocg.nsw.gov.au.

3. Meet English Language Requirements – If your initial teacher training was not conducted in English, you may need to provide an English language proficiency test (such as IELTS Academic).

4. Gain Approval from the NSW Department of Education (if teaching in public schools) – If you wish to work in government schools, you need to apply for approval from the NSW Department of Education: https://education.nsw.gov.au.

5. Join a Teacher Registration Body (if applicable) – If you plan to work in Catholic or independent schools, check with the relevant school system for additional registration requirements.

Once accredited, you can start applying for teaching jobs across NSW. You can explore opportunities on:

482 Jobs (Visa Sponsorship Jobs): https://482jobs.com – recognising you don’t need sponsorship on your 190 visa, however roles posted here demonstrate a willingness from the employer to hire overseas talent like yourself

Seek: https://seek.com.au

Indeed: https://indeed.com.au

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further clarification.

Best regards,

Hi Lee, thanks for confirming 🙂

Based on your occupation as an Agricultural Equipment Service Technician, it aligns closely with the Diesel Motor Mechanic role under ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code 321212.

This occupation involves maintaining, testing, and repairing diesel engines and mechanical parts of heavy vehicles and machinery, which is pertinent to agricultural equipment.

Are you comfortable with that assessment? 🤔

Occupational Classification:

ANZSCO Code: 321212 – Diesel Motor Mechanic

Skill Level: 3

Assessing Authority: Trades Recognition Australia (TRA)

Eligibility on Skilled Occupation Lists:

The Diesel Motor Mechanic occupation is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making it eligible for various skilled migration visas, including:

• Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
• Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)
• Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)
• Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482)

Skill Assessment Process:

To migrate to Australia under this occupation, you must undergo a skills assessment conducted by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). The process typically involves:

1. Eligibility Check:

Ensure your occupation is on the skilled occupation list.

Possess formal qualifications (e.g., trade certificates) or substantial work experience (usually 3–5 years).

2. Document Preparation:

Passport copy

Work references detailing duties, hours worked, and duration

Pay slips, tax records, or contracts (to prove employment)

Qualification certificates and transcripts

3. Application Submission:

Apply online via a TRA-approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

A list of approved RTOs is available on the TRA website: http://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au

4. Technical Interview & Practical Assessment:

If your documents meet the requirements, you may need to undergo a technical interview and/or practical assessment to demonstrate your skills.

State and Territory Nomination:

Given the demand for Diesel Motor Mechanics across Australia, some states and territories offer nomination for this occupation under the subclass 190 and 491 visas.

It’s advisable to check the specific requirements and availability for each state or territory.

I hope this information helps you understand the pathway for migrating to Australia as an Agricultural Equipment Service Technician.

I appreciate that is a lot of information 🙂 If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Lee and welcome 🤗

The skill assessment process depends on your occupation and the assessing authority responsible for it.

Each occupation has a designated authority that evaluates qualifications and work experience to ensure they meet Australian standards.

Steps for Skill Assessment:

1. Identify the Assessing Authority:

Check the ANZSCO code for your occupation . This guide on our website at getting down under might help.

2. Gather Required Documents:

You will typically need things such as

• Educational qualifications
• Work experience proof (employment letters, payslips)
• Identity documents
• English proficiency test results (if required)

3. Submit Application:

Apply online through the assessing authority’s website

Pay the required fees

4. Await Outcome:

Processing times vary, usually from a few weeks to several months

Regarding an Australian driving licence, it is not part of the skill assessment process. However, as a Kenyan licence holder, you may need to pass a knowledge and/or driving test depending on the state or territory.

You can check the requirements on the transport authority website of the state where you plan to live (e.g., VicRoads for Victoria, Service NSW for New South Wales).

If you would like to confirm your occupation, I’d be happy to guide you further on the skill assessment!

All the best

Hi Ayesha, and welcome to Oz Visa Forum 🤗

It’s understandable to feel anxious about the wait. Australian student visa (Subclass 500) processing times can vary based on several factors, including your country of application, the completeness of your documents, and the overall visa backlog.

As of now, the Department of Home Affairs provides estimated processing times, which typically range from 4 to 6 weeks for 75-90% of applications, but some may take longer.

Because you applied on January 9th and are still waiting, it might be worth checking your ImmiAccount to make sure no additional documents or requests are pending.

Since you have deferred your course to June 2nd, this should not affect your visa approval, but you may want to upload a new Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) reflecting the updated start date if required.

If your employer’s job offer involves a work visa (such as the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa), you might want to explore whether that would be a better or faster pathway, depending on your circumstances.

If your wait continues beyond normal processing times, you can submit an enquiry through the Global Service Centre or contact your nearest Australian visa office.

I hope this helps. I wish you the best with your visa approval! Let us know how it goes.

Hi Hemanta and welcome to our community!

To secure employer sponsorship in Australia, you’ll typically need to find a job with a company willing to sponsor you for a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) or a Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494) if you’re open to regional areas.

Steps to Get Sponsored:

1. Check if Your Occupation is Eligible

   • Food Technologist (ANZSCO 234212) is currently on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), meaning you can apply for a TSS visa (subclass 482) if you find an employer willing to sponsor you.
   • If you are open to regional areas, Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (subclass 494) visa could also be an option.

2. Find Sponsored Jobs

   • Start your job search at 482jobs.com (all jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship).
   • Also check Seek and Indeed by searching for “Food Technologist sponsorship” or “Quality Assurance sponsorship.”
   • Use LinkedIn (https://linkedin.com) to connect with Australian employers in the food industry.

3. Prepare for Employers

   • Your resume and cover letter should highlight your experience in food technology, particularly in quality assurance and extruded snacks.
   • Obtain an IELTS or PTE English test if required.
   • Some employers may prefer candidates with Australian-recognised skills assessments (not always required for TSS 482 but may be useful for PR pathways).

4. Alternative Pathways

   • If employer sponsorship is difficult, consider applying for an Australian skilled visa (e.g., subclass 189 or 190) if eligible. You would need a skills assessment from VETASSESS for Food Technologist.

I hope this helps for starters. Please let me know how I can assist further!

All the best

Hi M,

Thanks for the update! Since you’re currently overseas, securing employer sponsorship can be challenging but not impossible.

To improve your chances:

• Focus on employers who actively sponsor visas. Our job board 482jobs.com exclusively lists jobs that offer visa sponsorship, so I’d recommend starting there.
• Expand your job search to regional areas, as some employers in those locations may be more open to sponsoring.
• Ensure your skills assessment is in order if you plan on a skilled visa pathway in the future. For accountants, CPA Australia, CAANZ (Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand), or IPA (Institute of Public Accountants) handle skills assessments.
• Networking is key! Consider reaching out to recruiters and connecting with Australian accountants on LinkedIn (https://linkedin.com).
• Linked to my prior point – also make sure your linkedin profile is optimised to Attract Australian Recruiters.

Let me know if you need guidance on any specific steps. Wishing you the best in your job search!
