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: Production workers and machine operators are not on the Core Skills list; fitters, welders, metal fabricators, engineers and production managers are, at AUD 79,423+.
Before you apply: Some places test factory skills first: Japan's Specified Skilled Worker visa usually asks for a skills test and basic Japanese, and in Singapore, metal workers on a Work Permit must pass a safety course within 3 months of arriving.
Watch for: Factory floor jobs cannot be sponsored; trades such as fitters and welders can be, if pay reaches AUD 79,423 a year; check whether your trade needs an assessment.
