    Hi Chinenye and welcome 🙂

    When you say non-profit. That’s actually quite a broad sector. Sponsorship is usually offered against a particular occupation. How would you define your job title?

    All the best

    As an MD in my field of work… Direct Mail…this is not a big thing in WA and the companies I have spoken to just don’t have the financial background to support the salary needed based on the visa requirements.

    Have you considered to apply for a role as a non MD/more junior manager position to get you here?

    Also, does your wife work, have an occupation that might qualify?

    Hello Alankar, when you say bicycle mechanic, do you mean a motorcycle or a pedal bike?

    If the former, this would fall under the “Motor Mechanic” occupation, which qualifies for several visa options, including sponsored roles under the TSS/482 Visa class.

    If you are a mechanic who works on peddle bikes🚲, I don’t believe this occupation currently qualifies, though I’d need to research this further.

    Hiya Zeinab – Absolutely – Nurses are very sought after here in Australia.

    We wrote a guide here on our website at 482jobs.com that you might find interesting: https://482jobs.com/nursing-jobs-australia-visa-sponsorship-guide/

    Have a read, and let us know if you have any additional questions 🙂

  • Hi Liem, I’d be inclined to search our current listings at https://482jobs.com for starters. We also shared this list of companies offering Australia Visa Sponsorship in 2025 on our sister site, which is getting down under. I’m unsure if you might recognise any of the companies on this list from your industry?

    PS. I moved this to a new thread – please start a new post if you have a new question rather than a comment being shared on an existing post – this helps us get to you sooner.

    Hiya Chinenye, that’s a good question. It depends on what type of job you are looking for.

    Though the 482-visa pathway is a much straighter forward option if you have a sought-after role such as a nurse or teacher, for other occupations, it is less so.

    Remember you are competing with people from around the world for the same job so being interviewed and offered the role is frequently the greatest challenge before the visa process even commences.

    I hope this helps?

    Welcome, Adetola, and thanks for joining our community and your question.

    Migrating to Australia as a farmer under a job with visa sponsorship is possible, but it can indeed be challenging to secure an employer willing to sponsor your visa. Here’s some guidance on your situation:

    1. Relevant Visa Pathways

    Australia’s farming and agricultural industry is currently in demand due to labour shortages, and several visas allow employers to sponsor skilled or semi-skilled workers in this sector. The relevant options include:

    • Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): This visa allows employers to sponsor workers for occupations on the skilled occupation lists, including some agricultural roles.
    • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494): This visa is for employers in regional Australia who want to sponsor skilled workers.
    • Regional Visas (Subclass 491 or 191): You could also qualify under the points-based General Skilled Migration program if you meet eligibility criteria for occupations in demand in regional areas.

    2. How to Find a Sponsoring Employer

    Here are some practical ways to find employers offering sponsorship in agriculture:

    • Online Job Portals: Search for jobs on websites like:
    • Australian Agriculture Programs: Some programs match skilled workers with employers in farming.
      • Agriculture Visa Initiative: Under development but focuses on bringing skilled farmers to Australia.
      • Seasonal Worker Programme: Focuses on seasonal work but may lead to further opportunities.
    • Industry-Specific Recruitment Agencies: Work with agencies like Agri Labour Australia (https://www.agrilabour.com.au/), which connects agricultural workers with employers.

    3. Skills and Qualifications

    You may need to meet certain qualifications or have relevant experience in farming. Check the skills assessment requirements for your occupation under the skilled visa program.

    Hope this helps.

    If doesn’t really work like that unfortunately Alankar. 😕To qualify for a visa your occupation has to be on one of the Australian occupations list. At the time of typing bicycle mechanic is not on any of the lists. You can read all about the lists and view the current occupations here:

    https://gettingdownunder.com/australia-occupations-list/

    Note, just because bicycle mechanic is not on the list today doesn’t mean it won’t be in the future. Ebikes are becoming increasingly popular here in Australia.

    Do you have any experience in any other professions?

    Hi Zeinab, if you are looking at sponsored options, there are two elements.

    1. Apply for and be offered a job that offers visa sponsorship (the employer will handle most of the paperwork and forms for you).

    2. Registration with AHPRA – Some companies will sponsor you without it though the majority will expect your to registered,

    I would recommend you research and look to progress your AHPRA membership first as this is an important step that validates your qualifications are comparable to those expected by Australian Medical employers.

    We wrote a guide on this that should help

    It is a big (but important) hurdle Yuni though I must say, your written English reads well 🤗

    You might appreciate some of the resources we have available on one of our other websites at getting down under:

    YouTube is a great place for IELTS resources though these are some of the better ones that we have structured across the different IELTS disciplines.

    Hi mate – I wish there were. Based in WA but I’m not a migration agent – I’ve just been gambling for such a long time in this space that I know enough to be dangerous (though qualified migration agents are the way to go).

    Are you looking to move alone, or do you have a partner who will be moving with you? Do they have any skills or experience in a profession that might open the door as the primary applicant?

    When I moved here – Though I was the main breadwinner in my family, my wife was the primary as she had a degree and at the time I applied I did not. This gave us the extra points boost to get through the door.
