Hi there @Suraj and welcome to our community!

Based on the information provided, here is a basic overview of potential pathways for migrating to Australia

1. Relevant Occupations and ANZSCO Codes:

Given your background, the following occupations in Australia align with your experience:

• Medical Laboratory Technician (ANZSCO Code: 311213): Performs routine medical laboratory tests and operates diagnostic laboratory equipment under the supervision of Medical Laboratory Scientists and Pathologists. More info here.

• Personal Care Assistant (ANZSCO Code: 423313): Provides routine personal care services to people in a range of health care facilities or in a person’s home. More info here.

Upon reviewing the current information from the Australian Department of Home Affairs, I can confirm that the occupation of Medical Laboratory Technician (ANZSCO Code: 311213) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). Unfortunately, the occupation of Personal Care Assistant does not currently qualify for Australia Visa sponsorship if this is the occupation with which your experience more closely aligns.

Visa Options:

Given that the Medical Laboratory Technician (ANZSCO Code: 311213) is on the STSOL, you may consider the following visa options:

• Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): This is a points-tested visa that requires nomination by an Australian state or territory government.

• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491): This is a points-tested visa for skilled workers nominated to live and work in regional Australia.

• Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482): This visa allows employers to address labor shortages by bringing in skilled workers where they cannot source an appropriately skilled Australian.

High-Level Overview of the Process:

1. Skills Assessment: Obtain a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your nominated occupation. For Medical Laboratory Technicians, the assessing authority is the Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS). – Link to AIMS

2. Expression of Interest (EOI): Submit an EOI through the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system, indicating your interest in applying for a skilled visa.

3. State/Territory Nomination (if applicable): If applying for a nominated visa, seek nomination from an Australian state or territory.

4. Visa Application: Once invited, lodge a visa application, providing evidence of your skills, qualifications, English proficiency, and work experience.

Recommendations:

• Qualifications: Ensure your diplomas are recognized as equivalent to Australian standards.

• Work Experience: Accumulate relevant work experience in your chosen field to strengthen your application.

• English Proficiency: Achieve a high score in an English language test accepted by Australian immigration authorities.

I hope this helps? Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Mark

G’day Luke, and welcome to our community

The Australian government maintains a Skilled Occupation List (SOL) that identifies occupations eligible for skilled migration visas. It’s essential to determine if your occupation aligns with an ANZSCO code listed on the SOL. While roles such as ‘Training and Development Professional’ (ANZSCO 223311) Does the role description resonate (you can read it here).

If this position does align with your current role, its worth noting that it qualifies as a job for Visas on Regional occupation list (ROL). The ROL is designed to address skill shortages in regional areas, and occupations on this list are eligible for certain regional visas.

With your occupation on the ROL, you may be eligible for the following visa:

• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): This visa allows skilled workers to live and work in designated regional areas of Australia for up to five years. Applicants must be nominated by a state or territory government agency or sponsored by an eligible family member residing in a regional area. Eligibility requires a positive skills assessment, relevant work experience, and meeting the points test threshold.

Securing employment in regional Australia is a critical step. Given your expertise in training individuals to operate heavy machinery, you may find opportunities in industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction, which are prevalent in regional areas.

Engaging with regional employers and industry groups can increase your chances of securing a position that offers visa sponsorship.

I hope this helps., Please confirm if the ANZSCO role type aligns and ask any further questions if necessary.

Cheers

Hello EKTA, and welcome to our community.😊

Short answer: probably most of them. Assuming you are a doctor? What specialism are you working in?

Hello, Patrick, and welcome to our community. It’s great to have you here! 😊

There is no age limit on the 482 Visa class, so your current age is fine. What I would say is, if you are looking to acquire Australian Permanent residency in the future, your age may add an unwelcome level of complexity. I am happy to answer any questions you have.

All the best

Hello, Samuel, and welcome to our community. 😊

Both occupations are recognised in Australia, but their inclusion on skilled occupation lists does differ.

As of the latest updates, the Truck Driver (General) occupation is listed on the Occupation Shortage List (OSL) with a ‘Shortage’ rating in several states, indicating a demand for this role.

However, the forklift driver occupation is not currently listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), which means you will struggle to secure visa sponsorship as a Forklift driver. It’s worth noting that occupation lists are updated periodically, so this position may change.

Given the demand for truck drivers in some states, one viable pathway is through employer sponsorship.

The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions they cannot fill locally. Additionally, certain regions in Australia operate under the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA), which provides concessions for occupations in shortage, including truck drivers.

For instance, regions like South Australia and the Northern Territory have DAMA arrangements that include truck drivers. These arrangements offer pathways to permanent residency with concessions on age, English proficiency, and salary thresholds.

Steps to Take:

• Research Employment Opportunities: Identify Australian employers willing to sponsor international workers in the trucking industry. Job search platforms and industry associations can be valuable resources. You might find this guide useful.

• Understand Regional Opportunities: Explore regions participating in DAMA, as they may offer more flexible requirements and pathways to permanent residency. See this guide on DAMA lists.

• Prepare Documentation: Gather evidence of your work experience, certifications, and any relevant training.

• Consult a Registered Migration Agent: Engaging with a professional can provide personalised guidance tailored to your circumstances and ensure you navigate the process effectively. See the guide here for tips to find one.

Additional Considerations:

• English Proficiency: Demonstrating English language proficiency is typically required for visa applications. Consider taking an approved English language test to meet the necessary standards.

• Health and Character Requirements: Be prepared to undergo health examinations and provide police clearances as part of the visa application process.

I hope this helps but please let me know if you have further questions.

Welcome to our community, Ashwani, that’s a comprehensive list of occupations.

Typically, with Australian visas, the work you have done in the past 1 – 5 years is the most relevant.

Can you expand on that, as it will enable us to pinpoint your options a little better?

All the best

Welcome, Tommy and thanks so much for the intro. 😊 100 points and no invite is crazy – Out of interest, when did you submit your EOI? You must (hopefully) be close to the front of the queue at least.🤷‍♂️

Hi Daniel and thank you for the update 🙂

To leverage your skills and experience in obtaining an Australian visa, you need to have a job on the Australian occupation list. This is essentially a list of jobs Australia. Needs help filling from overseas to allow Australia together grow as a country. You can view the current list here.

Unfortunately, neither of the occupations you have experience in are currently on the list of qualifying experience which would suggest the local workforce already in Australia is able to adequate meet it’s needs.

It’s worth noting the occupations list is regularly updated so there is the potential that your experience may help qualify in the future. In the short term, if this is something you really wish to progress, you might want to focus on obtaining experience in a role that qualifies.

I hope this helps and please feel free to ask any additional questions.

Hello Mohammad and welcome to our community.

You need an occupation on the Australian occupation list to qualify for an Australian visa. Although Barista was on the list a couple of years ago. It is no longer, which means you won’t be able to move to Australia using this occupation.

The current list of qualifying occupations can be found here:

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

I’m unsure if you have any other experience you might be able to leverage.

Depending on your age, the working holiday visa might be a better option for you in the short term as this will give you the opportunity to gain experience working in Australia for 1-3 years which could lead onto longer term visa opportunities. You can read about the working holiday visa here. Please let me know if you have further questions.

If sponsorship isn’t the path you go down, the remaining visa options means you will still need nomination by an Australian state before being able to apply.

Visas That Can Be Applied For Independently of a visa for your occupation type.

1. 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa:

Requires nomination by a state or territory government but does not require an employer sponsor. You must meet the points test and have your skills assessed.

2. 491 – Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visa (State or Territory Nominated):

This visa required state or territory nomination but no employer sponsorship. .

3. 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (State or Territory Nominated):

Requires nomination by a state or territory government. You do not need an employer sponsor but must meet the points test and skills assessment requirements.

Current fees for visas can be seen here though there will be additional charges for skills assessments, English tests, medicals which will vary by region.

Are you looking to move here alone or do you have a family? If with a family, does your partner have an occupation?

Hello again mate, as I mentioned above

Entry-level positions in this field are relatively rare, and securing a role may be more challenging without Australian experience.

I genuinely wish I could though I think given your occupation type and lack of Australian experience you might struggle.

Our website at https://482jobs.com is a source of jobs in Australia confirmed as offering visa sponsorship. https://seek.com.au is the largest job site here on Australia and advertises jobs that are sponsored /non sponsored and will be more likely to advertise the company secretary type roles. Keep in mind though, it’s unlikely they will be offered with visa sponsorship but you could always connect with the recruiter to enquire.
