Hi Joshua, welcome to our community. Thanks for your question! 😊

For Australian visa applications, it’s not always necessary to upload the full document if only part of it is relevant. Since the key information about your beneficiary nomination is clearly shown on the first four pages, it’s perfectly acceptable to upload just those pages. However, make sure:

• The document includes your full name and account details for identification.

• The beneficiary nomination is clearly visible.

• Nothing essential is missing that might cause confusion or raise concerns.

If you’re unsure, you could combine the first four pages with a brief cover note explaining that the remaining pages were excluded as they only contain routine transactions unrelated to your nomination.

I hope this clears things up for you and your partner. Let me know if you need help with anything else related to your application.

Warm regards,
Mark

Hi Janey,

Thanks for your detailed post, and congrats on lodging your 186 Direct Entry visa application!

Because you’ve applied for a permanent visa (Subclass 186) and now hold a Bridging Visa A (BVA), you may be eligible to enrol in Medicare under the Interim Medicare program while your application is being processed. This is possible because the 186 visa is classified as a permanent visa.

Here are some suggested options for you 😊

1. Check Medicare Eligibility – To confirm eligibility, visit your nearest Services Australia (Medicare) office or call 132 011. Bring your Bridging Visa grant letter and a copy of your 186 visa application acknowledgment.

2. Apply for Medicare – If eligible, complete the Medicare enrolment form and submit it with the required documents (including passport and visa grant notice). Info here: https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/enrolling-medicare

3. Private Health Insurance (Optional) – While waiting for Medicare to kick in, or if you’re not eligible, you can temporarily maintain your BUPA coverage or switch to another Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) provider.

   Once you’re on Medicare, you can then look into local private health insurance for extras like dental or physio, which Medicare doesn’t fully cover.

I hope this clarifies things, and you’ll be on your way to full Medicare access soon! Let me know if you’d like help with anything else.

Warm regards,
Mark

No problems and thank you for taking the time to check 👍🏻🙂

No worries at all Jude. Take your time. Happy to help where I can 🙂

Welcome to the OZ Visa Forum, Jude, and thanks for introducing yourself! 🙂

Since you’re skilled in arc welding and metal fabrication, your occupation may fall under ANZSCO 322313 – Welder (First Class).

This occupation is currently listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which is great news because it opens up several skilled visa options, including employer-sponsored pathways.

Here are your best visa sponsorship options:

1. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482)

This is a popular option for skilled tradespeople like welders.

You’ll need a job offer from an approved Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you.

ANZSCO 322313 is on the MLTSSL, so you can be sponsored for up to 4 years, and you may have a pathway to permanent residency.

2. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)

This is a permanent visa that also requires employer sponsorship.

Usually requires that you have worked in Australia on a 482 visa for at least 3 years, but some direct entry options may be available depending on the employer and your skills.

3. Skilled Independent (subclass 189) or Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) Visas

These are points-based visas that don’t require sponsorship by an employer, but you must have your skills assessed and receive an invitation to apply.

This option can be competitive and requires a high points score.

4. Regional Sponsored Visas – Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) or Employer Sponsored Regional (subclass 494)

These require you to work in a regional area, often with great chances for sponsorship and permanent residency down the line.

Next Steps for You:

Start your job search here:

• https://482jobs.com – This is one of our websites, and all jobs listed offer visa sponsorship.
• https://seek.com.au
• https://indeed.com.au

Prepare your resume for Australian recruiters:

Follow this helpful guide: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

Upload your resume to increase visibility to employers here:

You may also need a skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). You can check their website for details: https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au

I hope this gives you a clear starting point. If you need help with the skills assessment, points calculation, or have more questions, just let me know!

Thanks for your question, Muhammad!

To get a sponsored visa to Australia under Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa), you’ll need to follow these main steps:

1. Check if your occupation is eligible

Your occupation must be on one of the skilled occupation lists:

MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List)

STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List)

ROL (Regional Occupation List)

2. Find an employer willing to sponsor you

The most important step is securing a job offer from an Australian employer who is willing and approved to sponsor overseas workers.

I recommend starting with these job search sites:

https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites, and all jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship

https://seek.com.au

https://indeed.com.au

You can also upload your resume to our database here to be seen by Australian recruiters:

https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

3. Ensure you meet visa requirements

Once you have a job offer:

Your employer must nominate you for a position on the relevant list

You must meet skills and experience requirements

You may need to show English language proficiency and relevant licensing or registration (depending on your occupation)

4. Apply for the visa

After the nomination is approved, you can lodge your visa application online through the Department of Home Affairs:

I hope this gives you a clear starting point, Muhammad!

If you let me know your occupation, I can check its eligibility and guide you further.

Warm regards,

Mark

Hello Sheu. 🙂

Our community points are for fun though as we run a network of sites including https://482jobs.com that offers paid service we might look at opportunities to reward members of ozvisaforum.com with higher points with things such as free memberships or resume boosts which will in theory help you secure Visa Sponsorship.

With that said we don’t want our members here just posting randomly to gain points. Posts with genuine enquiries are fine and replies to others posts that add value are also fine.

However, we do not want people posting just for the sake of earning points. Any posts that appear to be made for this purpose will be removed.

I hope this helps

Thanks for sharing that, Jayesh.

As a diploma-qualified electrical engineer, you may be eligible for several skilled visa options depending on your exact work experience and how it aligns with the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO).

There are two relevant ANZSCO codes to consider:

1. 312312 – Electrical Engineering Technician (listed on the Regional Occupation List – ROL)

2. 233311 – Electrical Engineer (requires a higher qualification and is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List – MLTSSL)

If your experience matches the technician-level role, your options may include:

Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional – Provisional) visa – requires state nomination or family sponsorship and is points-tested.

Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa – requires an employer to sponsor you, often in a regional area.

English is very important when moving to Australia. Most visas, including the 491 and 482, require you to show at least a competent level of English. While IELTS is the most common test, you can also use alternatives like TOEFL, PTE, or Cambridge English. Even if you’re aiming for employer sponsorship, demonstrating solid English skills will greatly improve your chances of finding work and settling successfully.

If you’re trying to avoid IELTS specifically, you’ll still need one of the approved English tests unless you’re a passport holder from a specified English-speaking country (such as the UK, USA, etc.).

To find jobs offering visa sponsorship, I recommend:

https://482jobs.com (this is our job board, and all listings offer visa sponsorship)

https://seek.com.au

https://indeed.com.au

Also, consider uploading your resume to https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ – Australian employers regularly search our database for skilled workers.

I hope this gives you a clearer path forward, Jayesh. If you need help identifying the best ANZSCO code for your skills or preparing for an English test, feel free to reach out again.

Hi Ruel,

Welcome, and thank you for sharing your background! 🙂

I’ve moved your post to its own thread so it’s easier for members to see and respond, starting a new post is always the best way to get helpful replies, rather than replying to someone else’s topic. 👍🏻

As a welder fabricator, your occupation is classified under ANZSCO 322313 – Welder (First Class). This occupation is currently on the Regional Occupation List (ROL), which means there are skilled visa pathways available, especially if you’re open to living and working in regional areas of Australia.

Some visa options that may be available include:

Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa) – Short-term work visa if you secure sponsorship from an Australian employer.

Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa) – For jobs in regional areas with employer sponsorship.

Subclass 191 (Permanent Residence – Skilled Regional visa) – A pathway to permanent residency after holding the 494.

To find jobs that offer visa sponsorship, we recommend starting with:

482jobs.com – This is one of our websites and all jobs listed offer visa sponsorship: https://482jobs.com

Seek: https://seek.com.au

Indeed: https://indeed.com.au

Hi Iroshan,

Thanks for introducing yourself and sharing your background—your extensive experience in hospitality, especially with international brands like Accor and in the UAE, is definitely a strong foundation for working in Australia.

To explore job opportunities in Australia that offer visa sponsorship, I recommend starting with these three job platforms:

1. 482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites. All jobs listed here are confirmed as offering visa sponsorship: https://482jobs.com

2. Seek – One of Australia’s largest job boards: https://seek.com.au

3. Indeed Australia – Another popular platform for job seekers: https://indeed.com.au

You may want to look for roles like Café or Restaurant Manager (ANZSCO 141111), which is currently on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). This means employers may sponsor you under the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) subclass 482 visa, provided Labour Market Testing and other requirements are met.

To maximise your chances:

Tailor your resume for Australian recruiters. We’ve put together a guide that can help: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

Upload your resume to our platform so Australian employers can find you directly: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

G’day John. Welcome to our community and thanks for your post. 👍🏻

Plumber is a skilled trade occupation that’s currently listed on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List) under ANZSCO 334111 – Plumber, which means it is eligible for subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) and subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) visas, among others.

What are the requirements for plumber jobs in Australia?

To be eligible for a sponsored visa as a plumber, here’s what you’ll typically need:
