Australia Working Visa - Skilled Migration

You can get a Australia working visa through the skilled migration scheme.

This is different from an Australia Working Holiday Visa.

If you are aged 18-45, have good English, and are skilled and experienced in one of the many industries required, Australia welcomes you with open arms.


The list of demanded skills is long. Doctors and Nurses are in especially needed and wanted. In some professions you are required to work in Regional Australia for a few years before you are free to move to the more popular cities such as Melbourne.


You will need a character and health check to apply for this visa; however you don’t require sponsorship by an employer.

Once you have been approved, you and any dependent family members will be able to live as permanent residents in Australia.

That means you can live and work anywhere on a permanent basis, or study in Australia at school or university and can receive all social benefits of a resident.
