We help you with your Temporary Work Visa

Australia's temporary work visa system transformed in December 2024 with the introduction of the Skills in Demand visa. Actually, it's created more opportunities than ever before. Whether you're a skilled professional, recent graduate, or adventurous traveler, there's likely a visa pathway that fits your situation.

The new system prioritizes flexibility and clear pathways to permanent residency. You can change employers, count all sponsored work toward PR eligibility, and access expanded occupation lists. But here's the thing - processing times have increased significantly, and navigating the different visa options requires expertise.

Checklist to be completed

Getting your temporary work visa starts with understanding which pathway suits you best. Each visa has specific requirements, but these essentials apply across most categories.
  • Confirm your visa eligibility - Job offer for sponsored visas, age requirements for working holiday, or recent Australian qualification for graduate visas
  • English language test results - Most work visas need IELTS, PTE, or equivalent scores. Working Holiday visas are the exception - no test needed
  • Skills assessment or qualifications - Trades and regulated professions need formal assessment. Graduate visa holders need their Australian degree completion letter
  • Health insurance arranged - Mandatory coverage for your entire stay. Some countries have reciprocal agreements, but private insurance is usually required
  • Character documents ready - Police clearances from every country where you've lived 12+ months since turning 16. Start early - some countries take months
  • Financial capacity evidence - Bank statements showing you can support yourself. Sponsored workers need less, working holiday makers need around $5,000 proof
  • Complete application package - All documents translated by certified translators, correct digital formats, nothing missing. Incomplete applications face major delays

Temporary Work Visa FAQs

How much does a temporary work visa consultation cost?
$110 for migration consultations with Mrs. Manisha Bhutani, our Registered Migration Agent. Student visa consultations are free with Sachin Sachdeva. That $110 covers a full assessment of your situation, eligibility check, and a clear plan forward. No hidden charges later.

Which English test should I take for my temporary work visa?
Most temporary work visas accept IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, or Cambridge tests. The required scores vary by visa type - Working Holiday visas don't need tests, while skilled visas typically need IELTS 6.0 or equivalent in each band. We'll clarify exact requirements for your specific situation.

Can I include my family in my temporary work visa?
Yes, most temporary work visas allow you to include your partner and dependent children. They usually get full work and study rights. The Skills in Demand visa and Graduate visa both permit family inclusion, though you'll need to show financial capacity to support them.

How long can I stay on a temporary work visa?
Depends on your visa type. Skills in Demand visas run up to 4 years. Graduate visas vary from 2-4 years based on your qualification. Working Holiday visas start at 12 months but can extend with regional work. We'll map out your maximum stay options.

What happens if I lose my job on a sponsored visa?
The new rules are actually generous - you get 180 days to find another sponsor. That's up from just 60 days previously. During this time, you can work for any employer while securing new sponsorship. Much less stressful than before.

Can temporary work visas lead to permanent residency?
Absolutely. The December 2024 changes made PR pathways clearer for all Skills in Demand visa holders. After 2 years of sponsored work, you can apply for permanent residency. Even occupations previously excluded now have routes to PR.

Are regional areas really worth considering?
Look, calling Perth and Adelaide "regional" feels strange, but that's the system. Regional work can fast-track your PR, open additional visa options, and the lifestyle in these cities is fantastic. Don't dismiss regional opportunities.

What if my occupation isn't on the skills list?
The new Core Skills Occupation List expanded to 456 occupations, so check again - you might be surprised. If you're still not listed, other pathways like Labour Agreements or state nomination might work. Every situation has possibilities.
