Hi Sukhwant,

Welcome to the community! 😊

Unfortunately, Housekeeping Room Attendant roles are not on Australia’s skilled occupation lists, meaning they are not eligible for a standard employer-sponsored visa like the 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa.

Your best option would be to explore jobs with employers who can sponsor through a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA). Some regional areas in Australia have DAMA agreements that allow sponsorship for lower-skilled hospitality roles, but availability depends on the specific region.

Here’s what I recommend:

1. Check DAMA regions – You can find more information on DAMA agreements here: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au.
2. Look for jobs with potential sponsorship – Websites like:
   • https://482jobs.com – Focus on hospitality roles that mention sponsorship.
   • https://seek.com.au
   • https://indeed.com.au
3. Consider alternative visa pathways – If you have management experience or have the opportunities to progress in this direction with your current employer, you could aim for roles like Hotel or Motel Manager (ANZSCO 141311), which has a lot more visa options.

Let me know if you’d like guidance on other pathways!

Hey mate – welcome to the forum.

Great idea with your planned visit to Perth with your family! (Bring the sunscreen as it will be HOT)!

As a Plumbing and Heating Engineer, you’ll be glad to know that plumbers (ANZSCO 334111) are on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which means potential skilled visa pathways are available.

Steps to Get Started:

1. Licensing & Skills Assessment – To work as a plumber in Australia, you’ll need to have your skills assessed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) (https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/) and obtain a plumbing licence in WA. The licensing process is managed by the Plumbers Licensing Board of WA (https://www.dmirs.wa.gov.au/licensing/plumbers).

2. Visa Options – Since your occupation is on the MLTSSL, you have options like:

   • Employer-Sponsored Visa (Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage Visa) – If you find a sponsoring employer.
   • Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – A points-based visa that doesn’t require sponsorship.
   • Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – Requires state nomination (WA nomination may be an option).
   • Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491) – If you’re open to regional WA.

3. Job Search & Sponsorship – Sponsored jobs in plumbing can be competitive, but it’s possible. I’d recommend starting your search here:

   • 482 Jobs (Visa-Sponsored Jobs) – All jobs listed offer sponsorship.
   • Seek
   • Indeed

4. Networking & Research – Since you’re visiting Perth in December, use the trip to connect with local employers, trade associations, and recruiters. From the websites above, take a note of the recruiters who are frequently advertising for plumbers in WA and reach out to them directly.

   I did exactly this almost 20 years ago when I came to Perth from the UK on a bit of a rekkie and had coffee with several recruiters, which really helped serve as the foundation for my network for the job hunting that followed on my return back to the UK,

If you want to maximise your chances of finding a sponsored role, ensure your CV is formatted for Australian recruiters, its nott hat different to the UK format but there are some nuances you might want to consider. Here’s a guide that can help: Australia Resume Tips: Craft a Winning Resume in Australia.

Since you have a family, consider researching schools and suburbs in Perth. Northern and southern suburbs like Joondalup, Baldivis, and Ellenbrook are popular with families.

Let me know if you need further details, I’d be happy to help!

Regards,
Mark

G’day Michelle and welcome to our little home on the web! 😊

I completely understand how frustrating the process can be, especially with migration agents not responding. You’re not alone in this, and you may still have options.

Potential Visa Pathways:

1. Family Sponsorship – Since your sister is a citizen, she may be able to sponsor you under the Remaining Relative Visa (Subclass 115/835), but this is only available if you have no other close relatives outside Australia.
2. Parent Visas – If your son becomes a permanent resident, you might qualify for a Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143/173), but these come with VERY long processing times and high costs. 😖
3. Skilled Migration – Your occupation (Counsellor, ANZSCO 272111) is currently on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), which means you could explore:
   • Employer-Sponsored Visas (Subclass 482/186) – If you can secure a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you. You can check out https://482jobs.com for visa-sponsored job listings.
   • State Nomination (Subclass 190) – NSW sometimes invites STSOL occupations, but age could be a limiting factor.
4. New Zealand Option – Yes, NZ has a higher skilled migration age limit (55), so that could be a good backup plan – Hopefully Australia will one day follow suit!

Migration Agents

Since you’ve had trouble getting responses, I can recommend an agent. Please note that they do charge an assessment fee for their time (approx $100 AUD for a 30-minute Video call). Payment and bookings can be made via the link here on our website at 482jobs if that is an option you want to consider.

Alternatively, I recommend searching for MARA-registered agents (Migration Agents Registration Authority) here: https://www.mara.gov.au. That way, you can ensure you’re working with a legitimate agent.

If you’re open to employer sponsorship, focusing on networking and applying directly to roles in Australia, this could be your fastest route.

Feel free to let me know if you need more details on any of these options! I hope this helps you.

Cheers

Hi Nyasha,

Thank you for sharing your occupation details. Let’s explore the relevant ANZSCO codes and visa options for your professions:

Metallurgical Technician

• ANZSCO Code: 312912

• Description: Tests materials as part of mineral and metal processing and refining, or conducts research into metals, ceramics, polymers, and other materials in support of Metallurgists and Materials Engineers. ​

• Occupations Lists: This occupation is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).

Process Technician

The term “Process Technician” is broad and can encompass various roles across different industries. In the context of metallurgy and materials, it may align with the duties of a Metallurgical or Materials Technician (ANZSCO 312912). However, it’s challenging to assign an exact ANZSCO code without specific details about your responsibilities.

Visa Pathways

Given that Metallurgical or Materials Technician (ANZSCO 312912) is on the STSOL, you may be eligible for certain visa subclasses, including:​

• Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): Requires state or territory government nomination.​

• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): For skilled workers nominated by a state or territory government to live and work in regional Australia.

• Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482): Allows employers to address labour shortages by bringing in skilled workers where they cannot source an appropriately skilled Australian.​

Job Search Recommendations

For employer-sponsored job opportunities, consider the following platforms:

• https://482jobs.com: One of our websites where all listed jobs offer visa sponsorship.​

• https://seek.com.au: A comprehensive job board with various listings.​

• https://indeed.com.au: Another extensive platform for job seekers.​

Resume Enhancement

Consider formatting your resume to align with local standards to increase your visibility to Australian recruiters. Our guide can assist you:​

• Australia Resume Tips: Craft a Winning Resume in Australia: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/​

Next Steps

If you can provide more specific details about your role as a Process Technician, I can offer more tailored advice regarding ANZSCO classification and visa options.

Additionally, if you’re considering employer-sponsored visas, it’s beneficial to connect with potential employers early in your job search.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any more questions.

Best regards,

Mark

G’day Eman and welcome to Oz Visa Forum – Its great to have you here! 😊

Your IT Systems and Network Administrator occupation falls under ANZSCO 262113 – Systems Administrator or ANZSCO 263111 – Computer Network and Systems Engineer, depending on your specific duties.

Both roles are currently on Australia’s Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), which means you may be eligible for an employer-sponsored visa, such as the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa or the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa if an employer is willing to sponsor you.

To improve your chances of securing employer sponsorship, I recommend:

• Searching for sponsorship job opportunities on 482jobs.com (all jobs listed offer visa sponsorship).
• Exploring Seek and Indeed for additional job openings that may offer sponsorship.
• Optimise your LinkedIn profile and connect with Australian employers who hire IT professionals. This article might be of interest: 15 Expert Tips to Get Noticed by Australian Recruiters on LinkedIn

If you need skills assessment, ACS (Australian Computer Society) is the assessing authority for IT professionals. You may need to undergo an assessment if applying for a permanent visa later.

Would you like help with a resume tailored for Australian employers or more details on the visa process? Let me know how I can assist further.

[Mark]

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!

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.

All the best

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

Mark
