I believe CIPS originated in the UK though it seems pretty popular here in Australia. I’d note though the number of procurement professional without CIPS outnumbers those who do.

Employers by there very nature tend to set the bar high though if you have some good experiences I would let it put you off.

Also your experience may enable you to bypass much of tge study and simply site the exam for the level you are interested in obtaining.

Welcome, Praveen, it’s lovely to have you on board!

As a New Zealand citizen with your family on a Subclass 461 visa, here are key pathways to Australian PR:

1. Subclass 189 (New Zealand Stream): You may qualify if you’ve lived in Australia for at least 4 years and meet income/health criteria. Once you get PR, your family can apply as dependents. Learn more here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-independent-189/new-zealand

2. Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme): If your employer sponsors you, you could apply for PR, including your family. More details here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/employer-nomination-scheme-186

3. Subclass 190 or 491 (State-Sponsored Skilled Visa): If your occupation is on Victoria’s Skilled Migration List, you could pursue PR through state nomination. Check eligibility here: https://liveinmelbourne.vic.gov.au/

4. Family PR Pathways: Once you gain PR or citizenship, your family could apply for Partner (Subclass 820/801) or Child (Subclass 101/802) visas. Learn more: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/family

Unsure which of these options resonates the most however I hope this helps as a starting point.

Cheers

Papua New Guinea is a beautiful place – What’s driving you to look at Australia?

All the best

I’m very sorry Chinenye, I was mixing you up with another post I was replying to at a similar time 😌

Ok, on the project/program management side can you better define the projects you are working on.

For example, information technology, construction, HR related projects etc.

The reason I ask is this will help me better identify the occupation you’d fall under from a visa perspective.

[Mark]

Ah, the Lakeside. Used to be a regular haunt for me when I lived in the UK. 🙂

The sweetest treasure would be extremely popular here in WA. There are a number of sweet shops here in WA and the expats can’t get enough of them. Visa wise, it might be difficult to align with a specific occupation though General Management roles might be an option given your role in the company.

On the mailingguy.

The National Innovation Visa (Subclass 858) might be an option though you would need to demonstrate that you are doing something cool in the innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship space. You would also need endorsement from a relevant Australian industry body or panel that recognizes your contributions in their field.

How’s your Australian network looking? Do you have any connections in the industry over here?

[Mark]

Absolutely. We see jobs on LinkedIn posting sponsored roles quite often. Just make sure you include the term “sponsorship” in your search criteria. This will also help you identify the employers for these roles which can be helpful from a general networking perspective.

[Mark]

Hi Roland, please start a new post rather than replying to a post on a different subject as it can cause confusion. I have moved your reply to a new post for you 👍🏻

With regards to your question. Teaching would be a better option as these roles tend be offered with sponsorship more often.

Do you have experience working as a teacher over the last 2-3 years?

[Mark]

Hmmmm. Good question. Can I just double check. Are the role/task descriptions here something you can align your experience with?

These are the skills you’d need to demonstrate to qualify for a number of Visa options.

Welcome to OVF Mujtaba and thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. 🙂 Your specialism with cows may limit your opportunities (though they may still be out there)

Have you also practiced on other animals in the past few years?

The reason I ask is we do see veterinary roles advertised with Visa sponsorship though they tend to be more for pets rather than farm animals. To apply for these types of roles you’d need to demonstrate experience working with these animals in the past 2-3 years.

All the best

Hey there, absolutely. It’s possible. However, can you please be a little more specific about your occupation?

For example, a waiter and a chef both work in hospitality, but their options are very different.🙂

[Mark]

Welcome Joseph. It’s nice to meet you virtually 🙂.

We see fitter roles advertised quite frequently though I’m unsure if they align with your specific example in fixed plant. We advertise these roles on one of our other websites at 482jobs which may be worth a look.

https://482jobs.com/browse-jobs/?search_keywords=Fitter&search_location=&post_type=job_listing

If not suitable I’d recommend registering an account at 482jobs and registering a job alerts for the terms “fixed plant* and “fitter” so we can email you when additional roles are added by our small team to our database. 👍🏻

Ah ok. Gotcha!

So generally the Australian migration Department requires that applicants have recent relevant experience (typically at least two years in the past five years) in the nominated occupation.

A long gap in the relevant field can make it difficult to demonstrate this.

With that said, I’m sure as an MD you probably get involved in lots of different elements of your role so theoretically you could demonstrate your involvement in elements of your job that equate to other occupations as well.

Although a concierge isn’t a occupation that currently qualifies there are a number of roles (restaurant managers and similar) that are advertised offering Visa sponsorship.

Here is an example of the skills you’d be expected to demonstrate you’ve undertaken in the last few years.

Hiya Jayne

What qualifications are you referring to? That sounds strange, as the UK/Australia roles are usually quite well aligned. 🤔
