Hi Rishabh,Welcome to the community!

It’s great to have you here. 🤗

Given your IT background and international experience, you may have good prospects for employer-sponsored visas in Australia.

Steps to Find Employer-Sponsored IT Jobs in Australia

Target Occupation Lists: Check if your specific IT role is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). Common IT roles like Software Engineer (ANZSCO 261313) and ICT Business Analyst (ANZSCO 261111) are often eligible for sponsorship.

Job Portals for Sponsored Roles:

482jobs.com – All jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship.

Seek.com.au & Indeed.com.au – Use keywords like “482 visa sponsorship” or “skilled visa sponsorship” in searches.

Employer Sponsorship Pathways:

Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482) – This is the most common employer-sponsored visa for IT professionals.

Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494) – If you’re open to working in regional Australia.

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186) – A permanent visa option for those with employer sponsorship.

Networking & Direct Applications: Reach out to Australian companies, connect on LinkedIn, and explore opportunities in IT consultancies that often hire offshore talent.

If you’d like more detailed guidance on a specific occupation code or visa path, feel free to ask.🙂 Good luck with your job search!

Regards,

Mark

Hi Anura,

Welcome to the community! 🤗

Some really good experience there, and with your strong certification background, you may have good prospects for employer-sponsored visas in Australia.

Job Search for Employer-Sponsored Roles

To find jobs that offer visa sponsorship, I recommend starting with these websites:

• 482Jobs.com – This is our own website, and all jobs listed here are confirmed to offer visa sponsorship.
• Seek and Indeed – These have a larger number of job postings, but you will need to filter results using keywords like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa”.

Visa Options for IT Professionals

Since a number of IT occupations are generally in demand in Australia, you may be eligible for employer-sponsored visas such as:

• Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa) – Requires a job offer from an approved sponsor.
• Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme – Direct Entry) – Requires employer sponsorship but leads to permanent residency.
• Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa) – For regional areas; offers a pathway to PR.

Many IT occupations are on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which increases visa options. Your specific job title and ANZSCO code will determine eligibility.

Additional Tips

• Check ANZSCO codes: Identify the correct occupation code that matches your skills (e.g., ANZSCO 263111 – Computer Network and Systems Engineer).
• Consider skills assessment: If you plan to apply for independent skilled migration later, getting a skills assessment from ACS (Australian Computer Society) might be useful.
• Networking: Engage with LinkedIn, Australian job expos, and professional groups to connect with potential employers.

If you have a preferred job title, I can help you check specific visa eligibility. Let me know how I can assist you further!

Best of luck in your job search! 😊

Hi Cihangir and welcome to our community! 😊

It’s a good question, and since you have an international diploma in kitchen/hospitality management and experience in the field, you have a few potential visa pathways to explore.

Potential Visa Options

• Skilled Migration (Subclass 189, 190, 491)

  • You might qualify for a skilled visa if your occupation is on one of the Skilled Occupation Lists
  • Chef (ANZSCO 351311) is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), meaning you could be eligible for Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa) or Subclass 190 (State-Sponsored Visa).
  • Cook (ANZSCO 351411) is on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), meaning you may be eligible for Subclass 190 or Subclass 491 (Regional Sponsored Visa).
  • Check the latest NSW state nomination list to see if your occupation is in demand.

• Employer-Sponsored Visa (Subclass 482, 186, 494)

  • If you can secure a job with an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you, you may qualify for the Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa).
  • A Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) could be an option for permanent residency after gaining experience under a 482 visa.
  • Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa) is an option if your job is in a designated regional area like Newcastle.

• Graduate Visa (Subclass 485)

  • If you studied in Australia for at least 2 years, you may qualify for a 485 visa to gain work experience.

• Training Visa (Subclass 407)

  • If you don’t yet meet the work experience requirements, a Subclass 407 Training Visa could allow you to gain experience while working legally in Australia.

Next Steps

1. Skills Assessment: If you’re considering skilled migration, you may need to get your skills assessed by TRA (Trades Recognition Australia) – https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au.
2. Job Search: If looking for employer sponsorship, check out https://482jobs.com (confirmed visa-sponsored jobs), as well as Seek and Indeed.
3. State Nomination: If considering Subclass 190 or 491, check NSW’s state nomination criteria at https://www.nsw.gov.au/.
4. Consult a Migration Agent: Given the recent changes, an immigration lawyer or agent can help tailor the best strategy for you.

I hope this helps! If you have more details about your experience, feel free to share, and I’ll refine my advice further.

Regards,
Mark

Thank you for sharing your insights, Darlene. Australian migration certainly likes to throw hurdles at people and it’s a tough journey for Agents to sometimes keep across the latest legislation (though the fees some of them charge – you would probably think they should).

Your comments also make me reflect on this article we shared on one of our other websites, getting down under last Tuesday.

from our article

Even after overcoming visa hurdles, many migrants struggle to gain employment that matches their qualifications. Nearly 40% of skilled migrants report working in jobs below their experience level during their first year in Australia. The recognition of overseas qualifications remains a significant challenge, leading to underemployment and frustration.

Seems like it is a common theme. Hopefully, the many frustrated voices are being heard!

“I also really like the 4th bullet point, “pleading ignorance post acing the interview”, and can see how that may work well.”

Yes, I was very surprised how many people jumped into the Reddit post and called out they did the same. To be fair to these candidates. Many job ads don’t mention sponsorship at all so even though those who have been searching for a while can safely assume sponsorship isn’t offered, if it’s not explicitly stated, pleading ignorance and faking surprise might indeed be the way to go 🤷🏻

[Mark]

It’s certainly a decision that won’t hurt Thomas.

It was a good question, and researching the answer was probably as eye-opening for me as it was for you. Digging around my usual sources, I found the details buried on various state and national government websites.

This is another candidate for a standalone article, which I have put on my to-do list. Thank you for asking it, as most of the legwork for the article has been done. 👍🏻

Hello Vishnu and a warm welcome to the forum! I appreciate that it it can be challenging to sift through job listings on Seek, especially when it feels like your applications aren’t gaining traction. 🤷🏻

Can you expand more about the initial hurdles you’re encountering.

For example:

– Have you been receiving any interview invitations or feedback from recruiters?

– Are your applications being rejected immediately, or do you reach a certain stage before being turned down?

– Have you had an opportunity to tailor your resume and cover letter for the Australian job market?

– Have you considered reaching out to recruiters or hiring managers on LinkedIn directly etc?

Happy to try and help where I can.

Regards

I love your attitude, Darlene I wish you all the best with your ongoing search.

You mentioned being on a Temporary Graduate Visa (485). Are you still in Australia, and if so, how much time do you have to secure a role?
