Hi Adeola, I can certainly take a look, though I’d be more inclined to seek professional advice from a migration agent or similar. The only reason I say this is I have never submitted VETACCESS information before – The advice I provided is purely based on the .pdf and other info on the VETACCESS website.

I’m sure if you use the guidance I linked as a bit of a checklist, you will be fine 😊 if there is something missing or not formatted, I’d expect VETACCESS will flag this with you rather than just reject your docs.

All the best

Hi Adeola,

Thanks for your question!

When submitting payslips for a VETASSESS skills assessment, if you’re uploading one per quarter (which is often acceptable), you just need to provide one representative payslip from any month within each quarter, for example, from March, June, September, and December.

No need to add them up or submit every month’s payslip unless requested.

Make sure the payslips clearly show:

• Your name
• Employer’s name
• Pay period
• Gross and net pay
• Any employer logo or identifiers

If your payslips don’t show your job title, also upload a reference letter that confirms your position and duties.

You can find full details on acceptable employment evidence by clicking here.(.pdf file)

I hope this clears things up. Let me know if you need help with anything else!

Regards

Mark

Thanks Nela! I’ve quickly reformatted your post to make sure everything displays properly on the forum.

Sometimes if you paste content from another platform (like Word or email), the formatting can break-so for future posts, it’s best to paste as plain text where possible.

Now, let’s get into your questions!

You’re in a great position as a Quantity Surveyor—this is an occupation in demand across several Australian skilled occupation lists. Here’s a breakdown of your options:

1. Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) Visa: Yes, it is possible to get sponsorship as a Quantity Surveyor (ANZSCO 233213). The role is on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), meaning it’s eligible for both short and long-term employer-sponsored visas. However, many Australian employers prefer candidates who are already in the country or have work rights. This is likely why you’ve been told to “get in touch once you have a visa.”

That said, many employers do sponsor Quantity Surveyors. Try these job boards:

https://482jobs.com – This is our own site, and every job listed here offers Australia Visa sponsorship. You can search Quantity Surveyor roles here: https://482jobs.com/job-category/construction/

https://seek.com.au – Use keywords like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa”

https://indeed.com.au – Same tip: use relevant keywords to filter for sponsored roles

2. Working Holiday Visa (WHV): This can be a good foot in the door. Many people have used it to secure a job and then transition to a sponsored role. But you’re right; you can only work for the same employer for up to 6 months, which limits longer-term opportunities unless you’re offered sponsorship during that time.

3. Subclass 189 or 491 Visas: Quantity Surveyor is on the MLTSSL, so you’re eligible to apply for:

• Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent visa) – No sponsorship needed
• Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional – Provisional) – Nomination from a regional state or family in regional area

Both require a positive skills assessment from AIQS (Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors).

You also need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect and meet the current points threshold (which can vary).

Skills Assessment with AIQS: Yes, it’s mandatory for 189/491 and for 482 if the Department requests it. The AIQS assessment typically checks:

• That your degree is equivalent to an Australian qualification
• Your work experience aligns with the ANZSCO description
• English proficiency (if applicable)

It usually takes 8–12 weeks. Details here: https://www.aiqs.com.au

I hope this gives you a clearer idea. Let me know if you have any further questions about the above any anything else.

Best of luck with your journey to Australia!

Regards

Mark

Hi Mahdi, welcome to our community! Thanks for introducing yourself.

If you’re looking for job opportunities in Australia with visa sponsorship, I recommend starting here:

https://482jobs.com — this is one of our websites, and every job listed has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship.

Since you have experience as an art teacher and in creative fields, you might like to explore roles under:

– Education & Teaching Jobs: https://482jobs.com/job-category/education-teaching/

– Hospitality & Tourism Jobs: https://482jobs.com/job-category/hospitality-tourism/ (if your pottery skills align with artisan or cultural tourism roles)

You can also check Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au), but be sure to search for terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” as most listings there don’t include sponsorship by default.

If you haven’t already, consider submitting your resume to boost your visibility with Australian employers:

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

Wishing you all the best as you explore opportunities in Australia. Feel free to post questions any time!

All the best

Hi Emmanuel and welcome to our community.

Thanks for your detailed introduction! I’ve moved your reply to its own topic so it’s easier for our members and migration experts to see and respond. Just a reminder — it’s always better to start a new post rather than replying to someone else’s with an unrelated question.

You can do that here anytime: https://ozvisaforum.com/post-new-topic/ or from the new post options in the main menu or your user dashboard (the page you see if you check out logo at the top of the page when logged in). 🙂

Now to your question:

Given your background in Business Administration and Management, your role may fall under one of several ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) codes, such as:

Marketing Specialist (ANZSCO 225113) — on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), which means potential pathways through skilled migration and employer sponsorship.

Sales and Marketing Manager (ANZSCO 131112) — also on the MLTSSL.

Property Manager (ANZSCO 612112) — on the ROL (Regional Occupation List), which usually requires a job offer in regional Australia.

Unfortunately, general business admin roles like “Administrative Officer” or “Office Manager” are not always on the standard skilled occupation lists unless you’re applying under a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement).

Your experience as a Forklift Operator (ANZSCO 733111) might open options under a DAMA or regional employer sponsorship, though it typically requires a job offer first.

To explore current Australia Visa sponsorship job opportunities that suit your background:

1. Start here — every job on this site has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship:

https://482jobs.com

2. For business and property-related roles, try:

Consulting & Strategy Jobs: https://482jobs.com/job-category/consulting-strategy/

Construction or Logistics Jobs (if applying as Forklift Operator): https://482jobs.com/job-category/construction/

3. Also try:

Seek: https://seek.com.au

Indeed: https://indeed.com.au

Use search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to filter jobs offering sponsorship.

You can also upload your resume directly to be seen by Australian employers:

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

And here’s a helpful guide for formatting your resume for Australia:

Hi Brian,

Great to hear you’ve received a request for further information, that’s a positive step, and it means your application is actively being reviewed. 🙃

You’re absolutely correct in your understanding. For NSW 491 nomination under Pathway 2 (offshore applicants), there is no requirement to be currently employed in your nominated occupation.

The official NSW criteria only require that you reside offshore for at least three months and have an occupation on the NSW Regional Skills List within an eligible ANZSCO unit group.

Your draft reply is excellent. You can send it via email or upload it as a signed statement in your application portal, depending on how the request was made.

A few suggestions with a couple of tweaks to align with some of the Australian Migration language (entirely up to you if you want to proceed with your version however).

Thank you for your email.

I confirm that I am not currently employed in my nominated occupation of Aerial Survey Technician (ANZSCO 312116).

I understand that current employment in the nominated occupation is not a requirement under the NSW 491 nomination Pathway 2 for offshore applicants.

I meet the eligibility criteria, including having resided offshore for more than three months and holding a positive skills assessment in an eligible occupation.

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Perhaps in addition to this draft, you might want to include a short note about your active efforts to re-enter the field (such as job applications or upskilling plans), which could be a helpful addition (but it’s not required under the current rules).

You’re doing everything right, mate!

Warm regards,
Mark

Thanks for your post, Jason, and welcome to our community!

For Australia Visa sponsorship as a Telecommunications Technician (ANZSCO 342414), your occupation is currently on the Short Term Occupation List (STSOL).

1. 482jobs.com – This is one of our websites. Every job listed here has been verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship: https://482jobs.com/job-category/information-communications-technology/

2. Seek – https://seek.com.au

Welcome to our community Aqib! Thanks for introducing yourself. I’m not a dentist or dental expert myself, so I’ll let others with hands-on experience chime in. But I’m happy to share some info that might help get you started.

The ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code for Dental Assistant is 423211.

This occupation is currently not listed on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List), or ROL (Regional Occupation List), which means it’s not eligible for most standard skilled visas like the subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) or 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme). However, some regions may offer options through a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement).

You can still look for job opportunities that might lead to employer sponsorship or onshore pathways. A good place to start is:

482jobs.com – this is our own job board, and every job here offers verified Australia Visa sponsorship: https://482jobs.com

You can check the general listings or hospitality/healthcare roles depending on your experience.

Seek – https://seek.com.au

Indeed – https://indeed.com.au

For these sites, use search terms like “visa sponsorship dental assistant” to filter relevant roles.

If you’re already in Australia on a different visa, local experience or training may help. And don’t forget to submit your resume here for more visibility with Australian employers: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

I hope this helps, and fingers crossed a dental assistant or hygienist on the forum jumps in soon to share more specific advice! 🙂

Hi Lucy, thanks for your message and welcome to our community! ☺️

It sounds like you’re looking to upskill through study while also gaining work experience in Australia. A great pathway to consider is the Student visa (subclass 500). This allows you to:

1. Study full-time in a registered course in Australia

2. Work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods and unlimited hours during course breaks

To qualify, you’ll need to:

Be enrolled in a CRICOS-registered course (check: https://cricos.education.gov.au )

Meet English and financial requirements

Hold Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

Many international students later move to skilled or sponsored visas, depending on their occupation and qualifications.

Choosing a course aligned with occupations on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List) or STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List) can improve future visa prospects, like the subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) or subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate visa).

If you’re aiming to work in a high-demand field, we recommend checking our job board:

https::482jobs.com – every job listed offers Australia Visa sponsorship and will help provide insight to the types of occupations and skills currently ond demand.

Feel free to explore and post any follow-up questions here:
