Tips to Get Sponsored

1. Target regional areas: Companies in WA, QLD, or SA sponsor faster (less competition).
2. Shortage list jobs: Focus on Skilled Occupation List roles (e.g., nurses, electricians).
3. Use LinkedIn: Connect with recruiters at target companies → Message:“Hi, I’m a [your job] seeking visa sponsorship. Can I apply?”

FAQs

Q: Can I get sponsorship with no degree?
→ YES! For jobs like truck driving, farming, or construction (certificates + experience needed).

Q: How long does sponsorship take?
→ 3–6 months (employer applies first → you then get visa).

Q: Can my family come with me?
→ YES on TSS/186 visas (spouse can work full-time).

Q: What if I’m over 45?
→ Still possible! Companies like Healthcare Australia sponsor older nurses/care workers.

1. Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417/462): For ages 18–35 → work 6–12 months per employer.
2. Global Talent Visa: For top earners in tech/arts (no sponsor needed!).
3. State Sponsorship: Local governments sponsor you (e.g., South Australia).
4. Studying in Australia: Graduate → get a 4-year Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485).
