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: Sales assistants and shop-floor staff are not on the Core Skills list; only retail managers and buyers can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423+; a working holiday visa is the usual route for shop work.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Shop jobs go to people with work rights, including working holiday visa holders (6 months with one employer); there is no sponsorship route for sales assistants.
