“Our knowledge is a powerful friend”
Migrating to Australia as a skilled person can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Australia is warm, welcoming country and our culturally diverse lifestyle is second to none!
The skilled migration process takes place in a number of stages.
The first stage is usually to have your trade or professional skills assessed by an Australian assessing body. The skills assessing bodies are very exacting in their requirements, particularly in the area of the trades. Failure rates are high.
The second stage is your visa application. The quality and content of your documentary application will impact upon the speed at which your application is processed by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). Inadequate content or incorrectly completed application forms may result in your application being refused. The Department’s visa application charges are non-refundable in the event of a refusal.
Our skilled migration team currently enjoys a 100% success rate with skills assessments and skilled visa applications.
Our team is here to help you maximise your chances of making a successful visa application and in the shortest possible time.
If you are an experienced tradesman who learned his or her skills “on the job” it may still be possible for you to migrate to Australia.

Many skilled people over the age of 45 years are able to migrate to Australia by using their skills and experience as the basis of an application for permanent residency. An Australian employer must be willing and able to support your visa application.
Please CLICK HERE if you are over 45 and would like us to assess your eligibility to apply for a skilled sponsored visa.
Fortunately, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship has created a visa route by which some skilled people can live and work in Australia for anything between three months and four years even if their job is not on the Skilled Occupations List. You will need an employer to sponsor your application. After two years in Australia on a temporary work visa, it may be possible for you to apply for permanent residency.

You may be able to find a sponsor through personal contacts in Australia; by browsing job websites; by looking in the employment pages of Australian newspapers or by registering with recruitment agencies
OR
You may be able to find a sponsor through Job Network Australia. Job Network Australia is part of the INA Group and was established to make it easier for skilled people from overseas to make contact with Australian businesses willing and able to sponsor suitable candidates from overseas.
