Hi Mahdi,

Thank you again for your openness and courage in sharing your story. We deeply appreciate your trust, and I’m so glad to hear our earlier reply gave you some hope.

Before I go into the visa details, just a quick reminder for your safety: please avoid posting sensitive personal information like passport numbers or your email address on public forums. While we’ve removed these from your post, it’s much safer to use our private messaging feature to share this information securely within the protected sections of our website. 🙂

Now to your questions:

1. Finding a Proposer for the Subclass 202 Visa

The Subclass 202 Global Special Humanitarian visa requires a proposer – someone who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This person or organisation must be willing to support your application and help you settle in Australia.

Since you don’t have family in Australia, there are still potential options:

Community organisations or religious groups in Australia may be open to helping. This includes mosques, churches, refugee support groups, or humanitarian organisations.

You can also approach registered Australian charities or refugee networks that sometimes act as proposers or help facilitate these links.

Try contacting:

Refugee Council of Australia – https://www.refugeecouncil.org.au

Rural Australians for Refugees – https://www.ruralaustraliansforrefugees.org.au

Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) – https://asrc.org.au

Refugee Legal – https://refugeelegal.org.au

These groups often have connections with Australians willing to support a refugee under the humanitarian program.

Lastly, stay strong Mahdi! 🤗 your resilience is incredible. Keep reaching out of you have further questions.

Best wishes

Regards

Mark

Hey @roybisaki / (Roy) and welcome to our community ☺️

Yes, your Papua New Guinea experience in warehouse and logistics coordination, especially in mining, oil & gas, can be highly valued by Australian employers, particularly in regional and remote areas where similar industries operate.

Here’s a breakdown to help you:

1. Visa Eligibility – TSS 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) Visa There are two ANZSCO roles that might match your profile:

ANZSCO 133611 Supply and Distribution Manager – on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which means eligible for a 482 visa with pathway to permanent residency.

ANZSCO 591112 Production Clerk or ANZSCO 591211 Despatching and Receiving Clerk – unfortunately, these roles are not on the eligible skills list for the standard TSS visa, but may be available under DAMA agreements in some regional areas.

2. Employer Sponsorship for Offshore Candidates While sponsorship is more common in high-demand fields like healthcare or IT, Australian employers in mining, logistics, and regional operations do sometimes sponsor offshore candidates—especially those with strong industry experience and remote operations background like yours.

3. Where to Look for Visa Sponsorship Jobs Start with:

https://482jobs.com – this is one of our websites. Every job here has been verified as offering Australia visa sponsorship. For your field, check:

Trades & Services: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

Construction: https://482jobs.com/job-category/construction/

Logistics roles are sometimes included under these.

Also try:

https://seek.com.au

https://indeed.com.au

Use search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to filter results, as most jobs on Seek and Indeed do not offer sponsorship by default.

Next Steps for You:

Review the roles and try applying via 482jobs.com first or seek / indeed of you are happy to narrow down the search yourself.

Tailor your resume for the Australian market: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

You can also submit your resume here to be seen by Australian employers actively recruiting offshore talent: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Your experience could be a strong match in Australia’s resource and logistics sectors, don’t hesitate to keep applying and reaching out.

Best of luck on your journey to Australia Roy!

Warm Regards

Mark

Hi Mahdi, thank you for sharing your story. I’m really sorry to hear about everything you’ve been through. Although I haven’t been through this myself, I’ve done some research on your behalf, as I’m sure your situation is not unique. Hopefully, this helps you and perhaps others who come across this thread, who might be able to provide some first-hand input.

Below, I’ve outlined your options so you can understand your current position and the steps you might take next.

1. Australia’s Humanitarian Program – Subclass 202 Visa (Offshore Refugee Visa)
Since you’re currently in India and recognised as a refugee by UNHCR, the most suitable pathway is likely the Subclass 202 (Global Special Humanitarian) visa.

To be eligible:

• You must be outside Australia.

• You need a proposer, usually an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen (can be a family member, friend, or community organisation).

• You must demonstrate compelling reasons for resettlement, including persecution or significant hardship, which you’ve already documented.

Unfortunately, UNHCR status alone doesn’t guarantee a visa. Australia’s humanitarian intake is limited and highly competitive.

2. Subclass 866 (Onshore Protection Visa)
The subclass 866 visa is only for people already in Australia, so it’s not applicable unless you’re able to travel here first, which usually requires another valid visa (like a tourist or student visa). Australia does not issue visas to individuals it suspects may claim asylum upon arrival so this is unlikely an option for you.

3. Support Options from India
You may wish to:

• Connect with Australian-based sponsors — friends, relatives, or support groups who can propose you for a 202 visa.

• Contact a reputable migration agent registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA): https://www.mara.gov.au . We have an agent we can refer you to for an initial assessment (they charge a small fee for this service).

• Reach out to legal or advocacy groups, such as:

  • Refugee Legal: https://refugeelegal.org.au

  • Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC): https://asrc.org.au

  • Humanitarian Group: https://www.thehumanitariangroup.org.au

These organisations sometimes assist with humanitarian visa applications and may advise you or your proposer in Australia.

First step:
Try to find a proposer in Australia and connect them with one of the legal organisations listed above to begin assessing your eligibility for a Subclass 202 visa.

You can read more about the Subclass 202 visa here:
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/global-special-humanitarian-202

I truly hope this gives you some hope and direction, Mahdi. Please don’t hesitate to post more questions. I’m here to support you where I can.

Warm Regards

• Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) visa

I’ll let you make that decision Theresa. Claire works for 482jobs.com which is also a website I own so if you use Claire. I benefit. I probably can’t advise you with any degree of impartiality in that regard. 🙂

What I would say is with Resumes, it’s often best to not overthink it. Your current resume was already pretty good. Start with a structure aligned with my feedback and use that as a new starting point. If you continue to not get much luck then you could consider other options at that stage.

Hope this helps

Hi Laarni, thanks for your message!

In Australia, most work visas are linked to specific occupations. This means that to be eligible for a visa like the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa, your job must appear on one of the Australian Government’s skilled occupation lists. These include:

• MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List)
• STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List)
• ROL (Regional Occupation List)

Each occupation is matched with an ANZSCO code (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations), which outlines the skills, qualifications, and experience required for the role.

To get started, please tell us your current job title or profession and how much experience you have in your occupation. I can then check if it’s on one of the approved occupation lists and let you know your visa options.

In the meantime, we recommend browsing jobs with verified Australia Visa sponsorship at https://482jobs.com — every listing here has already been confirmed to offer sponsorship.

Wishing you the best of luck with your plans to work in Australia!

Hi good day,

Hi Theresa, I snipped your link as everyone would be able to access it and given your resume contains your personal details I thought it would be better to take that offline 🙂 Separately, i’ve sent you a private message where so I’ll be able to review and share more detail with you.

I have seen Australia Chef Migration in passing though I have no direct experience working with them.

For me l think it’s a case of understanding what their value proposition is. If they are a specialise recruiter then by all means take a look but if they want to charge you fees then I’d be a little more cautious.

I’ll send you more info on your resume once I’ve had a look 👍🏻

Hi Api. Thanks for your message and welcome to our community ☺️

Just a quick heads-up; in Australia, companies very rarely sponsor visa applicants for intern-level or very junior roles.

This is because Australia’s skilled visa programs (like the Temporary Skill Shortage visa, subclass 482) are designed for occupations that require qualifications and experience.

Employers are expected to prove they can’t find local candidates for the role, which is tough to justify for entry-level positions.

However, if you have at least a couple of years of relevant experience, you might still qualify for roles like:

Geologist (ANZSCO 234411) — this is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which supports various visa options including subclass 482, 186, and 189.

Geotechnical Engineer (ANZSCO 233212) — also on the MLTSSL.

To explore verified Australia Visa sponsorship opportunities, start with our job board:

https://482jobs.com — every listing here has been confirmed to offer sponsorship.

Unfortunately, geology-specific roles are less common, so we recommend setting alerts and checking regularly. You can also try:

https://seek.com.au

https://indeed.com.au

Use search terms like “visa sponsorship” or “482 visa” to filter relevant jobs on those sites.

Finally, it’s a good idea to build your professional profile for the Australian market. Here are two guides that can help:

Australia Resume Tips: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

LinkedIn Tips: https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin/

I hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further guidance.

Best of luck on your journey to Australia and feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Hi Theresa, thanks for the update – and well done for taking action with the agencies and pursuing your TEFL course. That sort of drive can make a big difference. 😊

To your points:

1. Resume Support – Since you’ve uploaded your resume already, feel free to share the link here and I’m happy to review it (only I will be able to view as I’m an administrator on 482jobs with the correct viewing permissions). Alternatively, we also offer a 1:1 resume review through our colleague Claire, who will review and redraft your resume if you would prefer more of a thorough review/update. Details here for more info. https://482jobs.com/product/profession-resume-review-service/

2. TEFL Course – Once completed, a TEFL could certainly open some extra doors, especially if you gain experience or already hold a degree. It won’t guarantee visa eligibility on its own, but some sponsored teaching roles do appear, especially in regional areas.

3. Temporary Stay – If you’re exploring the idea of coming for 6–12 months without a firm plan to settle, a Visitor visa (subclass 600) might be worth considering. While it doesn’t allow work, it can let you stay with your partner and potentially attend job interviews face to face. Just something to keep in mind while you explore other options.

4. Family Connections – Sadly, being close to your brother-in-law’s Australian family doesn’t offer a direct visa route. But that support network could help with things like accommodation, references, or introductions to employers while you’re job hunting.

Let’s keep pushing on the Chef angle and finish your TEFL – both could lead to real opportunities. If you need any further help, please feel free to reach out.

You’re doing all the right things, and it’s great to be able to support you on this journey.

Warm regards,
Mark
