Jobs in Oz
Finding a Job in Australia
Australia has been spared the worst of the recession.
Jobs in OZ for skilled people are still pretty plentiful. However, you need to understand how the system works before you start looking.
First of all, DIAC are obliged to ensure that Australian citizens and permanent residents are given the opportunity to be offered work before any foreign worker is employed. Accordingly, either you must be granted permanent residence first (our recommendation) or you have to find an employer who is seeking your skills and has been granted permission to employ a foreign worker for the specific job role you are applying for.
The Australian employer has to be approved as a sponsor by DIAC before they can sponsor you and to do this they must satisfy them that they :
- can't find somebody with the required skills locally
- have adequate training schemes in place to develop skills
- are correctly structured in employment legal requirements
The process to prove the above puts off many employers for becoming sponsors and so to find one is always challenging. In general, only highly skilled and experienced people will be considered for 457 temporary work visas or permanent residence and will fall into one of the 4 broad categories otlined in the ANZSCO idctionary of occupations:
We advise you to consider applying for permanent residence, so that you are able to apply for any job you choose upon arival in Australia.
