Not at all, there is no age limit on the 482/TSS Visa stream.

With the Procurement Manager role you are eligible to apply for the Skills in Demand (SID) visa (subclass 482) under the Core Skills Stream. This stream permits an initial stay of up to 4 years, with the possibility of indefinite extensions through subsequent renewals, provided you continue to meet the eligibility criteria.

Welcome, Tim, and thanks for your post. Construction Project Manager under ANZSCO 133111 qualify for a decent range of Visas:

1. Employer-Sponsored Visas:

482 (Temporary Skill Shortage): Immediate work visa with potential PR via subclass 186.

494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional): Regional-focused, PR pathway after 3 years.

2. Points-Tested Skilled Visas:

189 (Skilled Independent): No sponsorship is needed; it is based solely on points.

190 (Skilled Nominated): Requires state/territory nomination.

491 (Skilled Work Regional): State or family sponsorship for regional areas.

3. Other Pathways:

407 (Training Visa): Temporary visa to gain structured Australian work experience.

Family-Sponsored 491: If you have relatives in regional areas.

It may be a good idea to progress a search for roles in support of 482/494 for sponsorship and in parallel; lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) for 189, 190, or 491 through SkillSelect.

All the best

Hi mate. Welcome and good job on the research – The Information and Organisation Professionals nec under ANZSCO 224999 current qualifies for the following visa classes with each option suiting different circumstances:

1. Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa

This is a permanent residency visa requiring nomination by a state/territory. You’ll need to meet points test requirements and state-specific nomination criteria.

Best for applicants with high demand in a particular state/territory.

Check occupation-specific requirements on state migration websites.

2. Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional Visa

This is a temporary (5-year) visa requiring regional nomination. It offers a pathway to permanent residency after 3 years.

Ideal if you are willing to live/work in regional areas.

3. Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (Short-Term Stream)

A temporary work visa requiring sponsorship by an employer.

Suitable if you have a job offer and the employer can sponsor you.

4. Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa

Similar to the 482 but requires employer sponsorship in regional Australia and provides a pathway to PR.

5. Subclass 407 – Training Visa

For occupational training or professional development.

Useful if you require specific Australian work experience to meet other visa requirements.

6. Subclass 187 – Regional Sponsor Migration Scheme

This is now closed to new applications, replaced by the subclass 494 visa.

Recommendations:

If you aim for permanent residency, focus on the 190 or 491 visa.

If you have an employer sponsor, consider the 482 or 494 visa.

Start by assessing your points for the 190/491 and confirming state nomination availability.

Is age also on your side? As you get closer to 45 things cn start to get a bit spicy. 😬

cheers

Thank you for sharing your background, Mensah. It sounds like you have a strong foundation in farm work 🍃. Are you currently exploring pathways to work in Australia as a farm worker or is posting here your first step 😊

[Mark]

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

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]

Hiya Jayne

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

[Mark]

What categories of products or services are you procuring Chinenye?
