Hello Seth, is it fair to say that farming would be your preferred occupation given this appears to be the area where you have the most experience?

Hello mate, those roles will be difficult to get with sponsorship.
Given you are from India, have you considered a working holiday visa to help you get some experience working in Australia while also building your network with potential future employers?

Hello Asad, would you qualify your occupation as an electrician? There may be opportunities for sponsorship in that space though not for delivery drivers.
If you would say your role is equivalent to an electrician, how many years experience would yous say you have?
All the best

Hi Samuel and welcome. 🙂 Can you expand on your occupation for me? Are you a nurse or similar? How much experience do you have.

Hi Henry, your expertise in heavy equipment repair is highly sought after in Australia, especially in industries like mining and construction. Many companies sponsor skilled workers through employer-nominated visa programs.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to explore opportunities with visa sponsorship:
1. Identify the Relevant Visa
The most common options for skilled workers like you include:
Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186): Permanent residency for skilled workers sponsored by an Australian employer.
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): Temporary visa allowing work for an employer willing to sponsor you.
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): If you qualify, you can apply without employer sponsorship (requires skill assessment and invitation).
2. Skills Assessment
Australia requires certain trades to undergo a skills assessment to verify qualifications and experience. The assessing body for heavy vehicle mechanics and related roles is usually Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). Learn more here:
3. Look for Sponsoring Employers
Use job portals such as:
482jobs (our website) https://482jobs.com
Seek: https://www.seek.com.au/
Indeed: https://au.indeed.com/
Focus on mining and heavy machinery companies in Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales, as these states have a high demand for skilled technicians.
4. Prepare Your Application
Update your CV tailored to Australian standards.
Highlight your experience with brands like Komatsu, Sandvik, and Caterpillar.
Obtain references from previous employers.
I hope this helps
Cheers

Hi Meera and welcome
As a registered nurse (ANZSCO code 254412), you are in high demand in Australia and could apply for a skilled visa that allows family sponsorship or migration with your family. Here’s how you can proceed:
1. Skill Assessment: Your nursing qualifications must be assessed by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC). Learn more here https://www.anmac.org.au/.
2. Expression of Interest (EOI): Once your skills are assessed, submit an EOI via SkillSelect for a visa such as:
Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) if you find an employer sponsor. Roles here: https://482jobs.com/browse-jobs/?search_keywords=Nurse&search_location=&post_type=job_listing
Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) for permanent residency.
Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) or 190 (Skilled Nominated) for skilled migration without requiring an employer.
3. English Language Test: Demonstrate your English proficiency (e.g., IELTS, PTE Academic).
4. Visa Options for Family: Most skilled visas allow family members (spouse/children) to be included in your application.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have further questions.
Cheers

Thank you for sharing your background, Fareed and welcome to our community.
Based on your qualifications and experience, you may consider pursuing Australian skilled migration programs or employer-sponsored visas. Here are the key options to explore:
1. Skilled Migration (Points-Tested Visas):
Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa): This does not require employer sponsorship but is based on a points system.
Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa): Requires nomination by an Australian state/territory.
Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa): Requires regional nomination and offers a pathway to permanent residency.
You will likely need a skills assessment through Engineers Australia for Civil Engineering qualifications. Learn more here https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au
2. Employer-Sponsored Visas:
Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa): Requires a job offer and sponsorship by an Australian employer.
Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme): For permanent roles with employer sponsorship.
Sponsored job listings can be viewed on our website at https://482jobs.com though a visa not requiring a sponsor may be preferable.
I hope this helps

Welcome, Vije 🙂
Hi Vije,
It’s great you’re considering moving to Australia with your extensive cyber security experience. Since your occupation, ICT Security Specialist (ANZSCO 262112), is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), you have several strong migration pathways available.
Key steps for your migration process:
1. Skills Assessment:
Your occupation requires a skills assessment through the Australian Computer Society (ACS). You’ll need to provide qualifications (such as a degree in IT or a related field) and evidence of work experience (minimum of 2 years or equivalent post-qualification work, depending on your background).
Learn more about the ACS skills assessment process here: https://www.acs.org.au/
2. Choose a Visa Pathway:
Common visas for MLTSSL occupations include:
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): No sponsorship required.
Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): Requires state/territory nomination.
Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491): Requires regional sponsorship.
You’ll need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect to be invited for these visas.
3. Points Test:
Points are awarded for age, qualifications, work experience, English proficiency, and other factors. A minimum of 65 points is required, but higher scores improve your chances.
Use this points calculator to estimate: https://gettingdownunder.com/australian-migration-points-calculator/
4. State Nomination:
Some states/territories prioritise ICT professionals. Research specific state requirements (e.g., NSW, Victoria, or Queensland) as they often nominate ICT Security Specialists.
5. English Language Test:
Tests such as IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL are required unless exempt. Higher scores improve points. Even though you are from the UK, I’d still take the test as you can get many extra points for having ‘superior level English.’
Lots of info here, though I hope thus helps get you started.
Feel free to ask if you have any additional questions. 👍

G’day @alexander, tech support and sales are quite different. Which occupations do you have the most experience in and what environments were you supporting/selling?

Hello CA welcome to our community and thanks for taking the time to provide tge detail in your question 🙂
Some current Trends for Accountants in Australian State Nominations
1. Reduced Invitations for Accountants:
Accountants (ANZSCO 221111) have seen fewer invitations due to an oversupply of applicants and high competition. States prioritise applicants based on industry demand and regional needs, which has impacted many highly qualified candidates.
2. 491 Visa Opportunities:
While your 95 points for the 491 visa are competitive, the 491 depends heavily on state-specific nomination policies. Most states assess applicants based on their ability to meet state-specific occupation lists and criteria, such as work experience in regional areas or ties to the state. For example:
NSW: Prioritises applicants based on their rank in the points system but receives large volumes of EOIs for accountants, reducing chances unless you’re highly ranked or meet additional state-specific criteria.
South Australia (SA): Accepts accountants with 491 points but typically prefers applicants with close ties to SA or those with a job offer in the state.
Tasmania and NT: These states may have slightly lower thresholds but typically favour applicants with regional work experience, study history, or employment offers.
Should You Wait for an Invitation?
The waiting period of four months is typical, given the competition in the Accountant occupation. However:
1. No Guarantees for 491 Invitations: Even with 95 points, there is no certainty due to limited quotas for accountants in many states.
2. Consider Alternative Steps: Waiting can be supplemented with proactive measures to enhance your eligibility.
For example:
Improve Employment Opportunities: Explore job offers or employer sponsorship pathways, as some states prioritise applicants who secure employment within their region.
Increase Points Further: If possible, aim to increase your total points (e.g., Professional Year Program in Accounting can add 5 points).
Regional Study or Relocation: Consider studying in or relocating to regional Australia, which can boost your chances for a 491 nomination.
Employer-Sponsored Opportunities for Accountants
Employer-sponsored visas (e.g., subclass 482 or subclass 186) may offer another pathway if you can secure a job with an Australian employer:
The shortage of skilled accountants in some regional areas makes employer sponsorship possible. Set a job alert for accountant on our website at https://482jobs.com so we can email you when accountant roles are added.
Check the Skilled Occupation List and the Regional Occupation List for employer-sponsored opportunities for accountants. Learn more on our website here: https://gettingdownunder.com/australia-occupations-list/
My suggestions
1. Keep Monitoring Your EOI: While waiting, focus on improving your profile to align with state-specific requirements.
2. Consider Employer-Sponsorship Pathways: Explore job opportunities in regional Australia to increase your chances of being nominated.
3. Stay Updated on Trends: State nomination requirements can change, so regularly check updates on state migration websites. We will also post any news updates on gettingdownunder.

Hello, Mohamed. Historically, we have posted some developer roles at https://482jobs.com (one of our websites), though it really depends on the language you have experience developing in. Niche skills are more likely to be Sponsored.
On the support side, these are less likely to be sponsored due to many IT support functions being able to be run offshore. We have seen some sponsored network support roles advertised, especially in the wireless/LTE space.
Unsure if this helps 🤷♂️
