The Australian government is committed to providing an immigration environment that enables people to work in Australia and contribute to society. The Australian visa system allows you to be eligible for employment opportunities in Australia at various levels, including the temporary working visa, permanent residency and citizenship.
To work in Australia you will need to apply for an Australian visa
To work in Australia you will need to apply for an Australian visa. You can only apply for a temporary or permanent visa depending on the job you are applying for, and there are certain eligibility requirements that you must meet.
You may be eligible if:
- You have a job offer from an employer in Australia who can sponsor your visa; or
- Your employer has sponsored another person who is already working in Australia on their behalf (i.e., they have been given permission by Immigration New Zealand).
Find out if you are eligible to work in Australia
You must be a citizen of a country that has an agreement with Australia. If you are not sure if your passport is valid, contact the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (AusDIB) or your nearest Embassy or Consulate.
You need to have a valid passport and visa in order to apply for employment in Australia. You will also need to speak English fluently, as well as being able to read and write English properly. This requirement does not apply if you have already worked for three years in another country with no interruption before applying for an Australian visa under Skills Shortage (Skills).
You must also meet certain health requirements before applying for work onshore:
Find an employer who can sponsor and support your citizenship application
You should also find an employer who can sponsor and support your citizenship application. Employers must be able to demonstrate that they have a genuine need for your skills and will be financially supporting you while in Australia.
Apply for the temporary working visa that suits you
- Check which visa is best for your situation.
- Check whether you need a sponsor.
- Check which visa you can get on your own, without the need of a job offer.
Apply for a permanent residency visa
If you are looking for a job in Australia, then it’s important that you know how to apply for a permanent residency visa. A permanent residency visa is an Australian visa that allows you and your family members to live in Australia indefinitely.
It also allows employers from anywhere in the world to hire foreign workers from overseas who have temporary work visas or student visas.
The process of applying for this type of visa varies depending on whether or not your employer already has an existing relationship with Immigration New Zealand (INZ).
If INZ already has information about your application before it starts processing, then it won’t need much time at all; however, if INZ does not have any information about your application before starting processing then there could be delays due to backlogs caused by other applications coming into their system simultaneously with yours!
If possible please visit our website www.immigrationnz/work-permit-australia where we provide more information about how this process works as well as links where you can find more detailed guidelines online should they be needed during any stage along this journey!”
With a valid Australian visa, you can also apply for an Australian passport and have dual nationality
You will also be able to travel freely with an Australian passport. This is particularly useful if you need to travel abroad for work or study, as it gives you access to certain countries without having to apply for an Australian visa.
If you have dual citizenship and are applying for a visa that allows you to work in other countries, then the Australian government will require proof of employment before granting your application.
However, if this is not possible because of your current job situation or because of the type of employment being offered (for example: volunteering), then there are still ways that can help get around this issue without having to give up on any opportunities at all!
You may also want someone else who lives outside Australia – such as another parent or relative – who would be willing provide references about how well-qualified they think someone would be working there as well…
