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: Truck drivers and warehouse staff are not on the Core Skills list; supply and distribution managers and supply chain analysts are, at AUD 79,423+.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Warehouse and driver jobs go to people who already have work rights, including working holiday makers (6 months per employer); office roles are the ones sponsored.
