    Hi Joyjeet,

    Thanks for posting! Before we can guide you properly, could you please clarify your main occupation or area of experience?

    It’s really important because Australian visa options depend heavily on your exact job title and how it matches an ANZSCO code (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations).

    Each job is assessed differently and may or may not be eligible for Australia Visa sponsorship based on this classification.

    Once we know your occupation, we can look into whether it’s on a skilled occupation list, if it’s eligible under a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement), or if it’s commonly sponsored under employer visas like the 482.

    Looking forward to your reply so we can give you the most accurate advice!

    Regards

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for your post! The industries you’ve mentioned — labour, agriculture, and restaurants — are quite broad. In Australia, visa sponsorship is usually linked to specific occupations, so it’s helpful to know your exact job role or experience (for example, farm worker, cook, waiter, etc.).

    That said, here’s how you can start your search:

    1. Check out https://482jobs.com — this is one of our websites, and every job listed there has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship. It’s the easiest way to find real opportunities.

    For your sectors, here are some helpful links:

    Farming, Animals & Conservation jobs: https://482jobs.com/job-category/farming-animals-conservation/

    Hospitality & Tourism jobs (covers restaurant roles): https://482jobs.com/job-category/hospitality-tourism/

    2. You can also look on Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au), but most jobs there don’t offer sponsorship. Use search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to filter the results.

    If you let us know your exact role or past experience, we can give much more targeted advice on what visas might be available and how to proceed.

    Hope this gives you a good starting point. Feel free to post again with more details — we’re here to help!

    Regards

    I will most certainly do that Khaled. I’d encourage you to keep an eye on the news articles shared here as this will also cover potential changes in Australian Migration law that might benefit you.

    Have you also considered Canada as a destination? The jobs at visa Jobs Canada might also be of interest. Canada also seems to be less restrictive when it comes to the age of migrants.

    Wishing you all the best in the meantime

    Ah! Understood. Then the job sites I shared are the way togo Dipika. You have a sought after skill set so if you are flexible on location, you should be in a good position to secure sponsorship. 🙂

    You’re very welcome, Khaled.

    The DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) program might be your best chance, as it allows certain regional areas in Australia to sponsor overseas workers with more flexibility.

    This includes:

    • Age concessions – some DAMAs allow sponsorship for applicants older than 45
    • English language concessions
    • Experience-based qualifications – sometimes you don’t need formal qualifications if you have strong work experience

    Each DAMA covers different occupations based on local shortages. Some areas prioritise healthcare, aged care, hospitality, and support roles, which may suit your background.

    Here’s a helpful guide that clearly explains how DAMAs work and how to apply:

    Navigating DAMA Visas for Australia’s Skilled Workers

    Also, the job sites I shared earlier are a good starting point for finding employers who offer visa sponsorship. Even if the job isn’t directly under a DAMA, some regional employers may still be open to sponsoring you through the DAMA process if they qualify.

    Let me know if you’d like help identifying which DAMA regions match your skills. I’m happy to check for you.

    Stay positive and keep going, Khaled. Many people have succeeded through DAMAs, especially in regional communities that are looking for loyal, experienced workers like yourself.

    All the best and take care.

    Hi Dipika, welcome and thanks for sharing your background! 🙂

    Childcare workers fall under ANZSCO 421111 (Child Care Worker), which is on the Regional Occupation List (ROL).

    This means you can be eligible for Australia Visa sponsorship through the subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa, but only in regional areas or under DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreements).

    Since you’re open to relocating, that’s a great advantage!

    Here’s how to start your job search:

    1. Browse sponsored jobs here:

    https://482jobs.com/job-category/education-teaching/

    This is one of our own websites and every job listed here offers Australia Visa sponsorship.

    2. Other job boards:

    Seek: https://seek.com.au

    Indeed: https://indeed.com.au

    On these sites, make sure to use search terms like “482 visa” or “visa sponsorship” to filter relevant roles.

    What happens after you graduate?

    Once you complete your Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education, you’ll have more visa pathways available:

    1. Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)

    You may be eligible for the Post-Study Work stream, giving you full work rights in Australia for 2 to 4 years.

    This allows you time to gain experience and seek sponsorship.

    2. Skilled visas (189, 190, 491)

    If you qualify as an Early Childhood Teacher (ANZSCO 241111), which is on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), you can apply independently or via state nomination.

    3. Employer-sponsored options

    After gaining experience, you could be sponsored for a permanent visa like the subclass 186, or a regional visa like the subclass 494.

    Extra Tips:

    Make sure your CV is tailored for the Australian job market. Here’s a guide to help:

    Thanks for your post, Tazneem.

    The ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code for Company Secretary is 221211, and good news, this occupation is eligible for several Australian visa pathways. 🙂

    Company Secretary is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), meaning you may be eligible for:

    • Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) — requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.
    • Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) — also state or territory nominated.
    • Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482) — Short-term stream, employer-sponsored.
    • Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) — Direct Entry stream, employer-sponsored.
    • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) — employer-sponsored.
    • Training visa (subclass 407) — for structured workplace-based training.

    The skills assessing authority is VETASSESS. You’ll need a positive assessment from them for most of the above visas.

    More info here: https://www.vetassess.com.au/check-my-occupation/professional-occupations/company-secretary

    I also covered this topic in detail with another member here. You might find some of the takeaways from this thread useful.

    https://ozvisaforum.com/discussion/any-visa-sponsorship-available-for-company-secretary-entry-level-please-guide/

    Finding an Australian employer to sponsor this role can still be challenging, as it’s not a common one for visa sponsorship, but it’s certainly possible under the right circumstances.

    I hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards

    Thanks for sharing your story, Khaled, and for reaching out with such honesty and heart.

    At age 57, most standard skilled visa pathways to Australia, like the subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) or subclass 189/190 (Skilled Independent/State Sponsored), become very difficult due to age limits.

    These usually have a cut-off at 45 years old. Unfortunately, Australia does not have a general “retirement visa” anymore unless you have significant financial means, which you mentioned you don’t.

    However, here are a few options that may be worth exploring:

    1. Employer Sponsorship via Subclass 482 Visa

    This visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers. There is no age limit, but the employer must be willing to sponsor you, and your occupation must be on one of the skilled occupation lists.

    Your background in medical reception, education, and pharmacy assistance may not directly align with eligible occupations, but if you can find an employer who is desperate for experience in regional areas, they may sponsor you under a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement). These allow for more flexibility, including older applicants.

    To start:

    Visit https://482jobs.com, this is our trusted site where every job is verified to offer Australia Visa sponsorship.

    For jobs related to healthcare or medical support, check: https://482jobs.com/job-category/healthcare-medical/

    For education or ESL-related roles: https://482jobs.com/job-category/education-teaching/

    Also try Seek again (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au), but use search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to narrow results.

    2. Volunteering or Community-Based Visitor Visas

    While these won’t lead to permanent migration, some community organisations in Australia do host visitors for short-term help or cultural exchange. It’s not a pathway to stay permanently, but it might give you a taste of life in Australia while you keep searching.

    3. Explore Reunion with Old Contacts

    If any of your past friends or colleagues in Australia are still reachable, perhaps they can refer you to employers, or even consider employer nomination if they’re in a position to do so. Referrals carry a lot of weight in Australia’s job market.

    Lastly, don’t lose hope. Your experience and passion for service are admirable. While the official pathways may be limited, continuing to connect, apply, and explore smaller regional opportunities under DAMA agreements might open unexpected doors.

    I hope this gives you some new ideas. Don’t hesitate to post follow-up questions if you’d like help exploring DAMA regions or checking specific job titles for visa eligibility.

    Wishing you renewed strength and the very best on your journey.

    Regards

    Hi Theresa,

    Great question! In most cases, it’s best to complete your skills assessment first, especially if you’re planning to apply for a skilled visa like the subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) or subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme).

    Here’s why:

    1. Australian employers often want to know you’re eligible for a visa before offering sponsorship. A positive skills assessment proves your qualifications meet Australian standards.

    2. For most skilled visas, a valid skills assessment is mandatory before you can apply.

    3. If you wait until after finding a job, the process can delay your application and risk missing an opportunity.

    I hope this helps! 🙂.
