Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Only Core Skills list jobs (chef, cook, hotel manager) can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423 a year or more; waiters and room attendants are not on the list.
Watch for: The Far North Queensland (Cairns) regional agreement lists waiter, bar and housekeeping supervisors and night auditors, with a pay floor 10% lower.
Official source: Federal Register of Legislation: Core Skills Occupation List for the Skills in Demand visa (Migration (Specification of Occupations, Subclass 482 Visa) Instrument 2024, LIN 24/089, compilation of 7 November 2025). Checked November 2026.
