Hey Desire and welcome. 🙂 Migrating to Australia as a recent graduate in Mining Engineering is possible through various skilled migration pathways.

1. Skilled Migration Visas

Australia has a demand for mining engineers on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

Relevant visa subclasses include:

Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa) – Points-tested, does not require sponsorship.

Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa) – Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.

Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa) – For regional work; requires nomination or sponsorship.

2. Eligibility Criteria

Skills Assessment: You must have your qualifications assessed by the relevant assessing authority for mining engineers (Engineers Australia). This involves proving your degree aligns with Australian standards.

Points Test: Points are awarded based on age, English proficiency, qualifications, and work experience.

Age: Maximum points for ages 18–32.

English: Take an English test (e.g., IELTS or PTE Academic) to demonstrate proficiency.

Work Experience: While recent graduates with limited experience can apply, additional work experience boosts points.

3. Steps to Apply

1. Complete a skills assessment through Engineers Australia.

2. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect.

3. Wait for an invitation to apply for a visa.

4. Prepare documents: academic transcripts, English test results, skills assessment, and health/character checks.

4. Post-Study Work Pathway

If you’ve recently studied in Australia, you could qualify for the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485), allowing you to gain Australian work experience.

Learn more about the subclass 485 here.

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

No worries at all. If we can be of any further help, please feel free to start a new forum post with your question/s🙂

[Mark]

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?

[Mark]

Hi Rashid, what occupation would you be targeting?

[Mark]

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/

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?

[Mark]

You are very welcome Patricia. I edited you post into English, I hope that us OK? As an Australian forum, our support is primary provided in English.

In French just in case…

Vous êtes très bienvenue, Patricia. J’ai modifié votre publication en anglais, j’espère que cela vous convient ? En tant que forum australien, notre support est principalement fourni en anglais. 😇

[Mark]

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?

You are very welcome and I’m pleased to help. 😊 I’m sorry just to throw links and articles at you however there are many years of content that we have created and its easier to share.

Have a read, at let me know if/when you have further questions.

[Mark]

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
