Hi Joe and welcome to Oz Visa Forum! 😊

To obtain an electrical license in Western Australia, you must apply through Building and Energy WA, which regulates electrical licensing in the state.

The type of license you need depends on whether you are an electrician, electrical contractor, or working in a restricted capacity. You didn’t mention if you are already in Australia, however, as a general guide, please see below:

Steps to Get an Electrical License in WA:

1. Complete the Required Training

   • If you are a new applicant, you must complete a relevant electrotechnology qualification (e.g., Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician).
   • Internationally qualified electricians may need to undergo a skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) or Future Skills WA before applying.

2. Undertake the Capstone Assessment

   • Also known as the Electrical Licensing Assessment, this test ensures you meet Australian safety and competency standards.

3. Apply for a Western Australia Electrical License

   • Submit your application to Building and Energy WA (a division of the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety).
   • You will need:
     • Proof of qualifications and training
     • Evidence of completing the Capstone Assessment
     • Application fees

4. For Overseas Electricians

   • If you are migrating to Australia, you may first need a Restricted Electrical License while completing any required gap training.
   • The Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR) is usually required for electricians applying from overseas.

Where to Apply?

Visit Building and Energy WA: http://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/building-and-energy

If you are looking for employer-sponsored jobs as an electrician, check out 482 Jobs (https://482jobs.com) for opportunities with visa sponsorship.

Let me know if you need more details!

Hi Mohammad,

Thanks for reaching out! Finding a job in Australia with visa sponsorship can be challenging, but there are great resources to help. We recommend starting with 482jobs.com, where all job listings offer visa sponsorship. You can also check Seek and Indeed for more opportunities.

The cost of a work visa depends on the type of visa you apply for. Here are some common options:

• Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482): AUD 1,455 to AUD 3,035 (approx. ₹80,000 – ₹1,70,000)
• Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189): AUD 4,640 (approx. ₹2,60,000)

These costs are only for the visa application itself. You may also need to pay for skills assessments, English language tests, health insurance, and medical exams.

You can check the latest visa costs on the official website: http://www.homeaffairs.gov.au.

We’d love to help answer your questions here, but unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to provide 1:1 feedback via WhatsApp, which is why we created these forums. 😊

Also, we recommend not sharing your personal contact details publicly for privacy reasons (so removed your number from your post).

Hi Amitkumar,

Welcome to the community!

Since you have over 10 years of experience in warehouse and admin roles, you may be looking for employer-sponsored visa options like the Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa). However, after reviewing the current skilled occupation lists, I found that 591116 Warehouse Manager is not on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), or Regional Occupation List (ROL).

It is included in the Skilled Refugee Labour Agreement Pilot program, although it has limited availability.

Given this, employer-sponsored visa options may be challenging for this occupation. Alternative pathways to explore include:

• Regional Opportunities: Some areas in Australia offer specific migration programs that might accommodate your skills.
• Skill Development: Gaining additional qualifications to align with occupations currently in demand could open new visa pathways.

For job searches, check out 482jobs.com, our job board featuring roles with visa sponsorship. You can also explore:

• Seek: https://seek.com.au
• Indeed: https://indeed.com.au

For more details, visit the Department of Home Affairs website. linked previously.

Please let me know if you need further guidance or have any additional quetions

Best of luck!

Hello mate and welcome to our community.

Truck driving is a popular occupation for people looking to move to Australia. There are chances but it’s not so easy.

Rather than copying and pasting the whole article, I’d take a look at the guide we shared on 482jobs here: https://482jobs.com/sponsored-truck-driver-jobs-in-australia/

This breaks down the process and options and details some of the main trucking companies that operate in Australia.

Once you have had time to read and digest please start a new thread with any questions you might have (this forum is meant for general Intros) 🙂 and I’ll look to address them/help guide you where I can.

All the best and thanks again for the Intro Sebastian 👍🏻

Hi Boniface,

Welcome to the community! 🙂

Firstly, I’ve moved your post to its own thread.

Replying to someone else’s post with your own question can be confusing for the poster of that thread and your own post can sometimes get overlooked.🤷🏻

With your experience as a driller in open-cast mining and your leadership background, you may be eligible for employer-sponsored visas such as the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) if you can secure a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.

To find visa-sponsored job opportunities in mining, I recommend checking:

https://482jobs.com – This is our dedicated job board for visa-sponsored jobs in Australia.

Seek.com.au and Indeed.com.au – Use keywords like “driller visa sponsorship” to filter relevant jobs.

Additionally, Western Australia and Queensland have a strong mining industry, so looking at companies operating in these regions might increase your chances.

If you have any questions about visas or job search strategies, feel free to ask!

Hi Rukhsana,

I appreciate how frustrating the job search process can be, especially when looking for visa sponsorship. Finding an employer willing to sponsor can take time, but don’t lose hope!

Here are some steps to improve your chances:

1. Search for Sponsorship Jobs – Visit https://482jobs.com, which lists only jobs offering visa sponsorship in Australia. Also check https://seek.com.au and https://indeed.com.au for relevant opportunities using “visa sponsorship” as part of your search criteria to help narrow your search

2. Improve Your Resume & Cover Letter – Tailor your CV to Australian standards and highlight your skills that align with the job requirements.

3. Connect with Employers & Recruiters – Use LinkedIn to network with Australian employers and recruiters.

4. Consider Regional Opportunities – Many regional areas have a higher demand for skilled workers and are more open to sponsoring visas.

5. Check Your Occupation’s Eligibility – Ensure your job is on the Skilled Occupation List. If you let me know your profession, I can guide you on the best visa pathways.👍🏻

Keep applying, stay persistent, and explore different options. Let me know if you need help with anything specific!

Best of luck,

Mark

Hi Maria,

Since employer sponsorship is proving difficult, shifting focus to permanent residency (PR) pathways makes sense. Here are your main visa options:

1. Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa)

No sponsorship required.

Points-tested, meaning you need to meet the required score based on age, experience, English skills, etc.

Requires an invitation from the government.

Can take longer due to high competition.

2. Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa)

Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.

Faster than 189 in some cases, but you must commit to living in the nominating state for at least two years.

Different states have different requirements—some prefer nurses with specific skills.

3. Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa)

Requires either state nomination or sponsorship by an eligible family member living in a designated regional area.

Provides a pathway to PR via the Subclass 191 visa after 3 years.

More opportunities since regional areas often have lower competition.

To apply, you first need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect on the Department of Home Affairs website:

Fastest PR Option?

If you can secure a Subclass 190 nomination, it could be the quickest PR route.

Otherwise, Subclass 491 is often easier to obtain but requires a few years in a regional area before PR.

If you need help improving your points score, I can guide you on areas like English tests (e.g., PTE/IELTS) or state nomination strategies. Let me know!

Mark

Welcome to Oz Visa Forum Anmol, its great to have you here!

Based on your experience as an Agile Delivery Lead/Scrum Master, your role may align with ANZSCO 261111 (ICT Business Analyst) or 135112 (ICT Project Manager). Do either of these role descriptions resonate with you?

The best visa options for migrating with a job include:

1. Skilled Migration (Points-Based Visas)

   • Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa): No sponsorship needed but requires a high points score.
   • Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa): Requires state nomination.
   • Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa): For regional areas, needs nomination from a state or family member.
   • Check your occupation on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List)

2. Employer-Sponsored Visas

   • Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa): Requires a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor.
   • Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme Visa): A permanent visa that requires employer sponsorship.

Steps to Take:

• Skill Assessment: If applying for skilled migration, you must get your skills assessed by ACS (Australian Computer Society). Check requirements at http://www.acs.org.au.
• Job Search: Start applying for jobs that offer visa sponsorship on 482Jobs.com (all listings provide sponsorship), Seek, and Indeed.
• EOI (Expression of Interest): If applying for skilled migration, submit an EOI through SkillSelect.
• Networking: Connect with Australian employers via LinkedIn and join industry groups.

Let me know if you need help calculating your points for skilled migration or anything else!

Best of luck!

Hi again Maria,

Great to hear you’re moving forward with your visa application process! Since you already have your ANMAC skills assessment, you’ll need an employer to sponsor you before applying for the Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) Visa. Here’s how you can proceed:

1. Visa Application Process

• Once you secure a job offer, your employer will nominate you for the 482 visa.
• After nomination, you can lodge your visa application through the Department of Home Affairs: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au
• You’ll need documents like your AHPRA registration, ANMAC skills assessment, job contract, and health & police clearances.

2. Best Regional Areas for Nursing Jobs & PR Pathways
Regional areas often have more job opportunities with sponsorship and better pathways to permanent residency. Based on my research, consider:

• Victoria – Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton (public hospitals and aged care facilities)
• Queensland – Toowoomba, Cairns, Townsville (strong demand in aged care and hospitals)
• South Australia – Mount Gambier, Whyalla (hospitals and aged care providers often sponsor nurses)
• Western Australia – Kalgoorlie, Bunbury (regional hospitals actively hiring nurses)
• New South Wales – Wagga Wagga, Dubbo (regional health networks with sponsorship options)

Since you’re considering PR, check if the employer-sponsored Subclass 186 visa is an option after working on a 482 visa.

Many regional areas also offer the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional Visa, which has pathways to PR.

If you need step-by-step help, you can manage your application yourself through the Home Affairs website, or you may choose to consult a migration agent for additional support. I can recommend an agent if you would like to engage with them, though they will charge an initial assessment fee (Approx $100 AUD).

Let me know if you need further details.

Mark

Hi Chris. It’s a great role to have but the competition for accountant positions is quite high. We only launched Oz Visa Forum approx 6 weeks ago and a quick search will highlight it’s quite a popular profession for wannabe Australians.

The search results will take you to some of the other threads that might contain information which may be useful for you.

Clicking the members tab will also highlight our accountants who have flagged their occupation as an accountant. I recommend following and connecting with these members so you can all learn from each other as you progress along your journey.

If you have your own questions more specific to your individual circumstances, please feel free to post a new thread by clicking here.

Though I can’t magic jobs out of thin air, I’ll try to provide as much assistance as I can.

All the best
