Ok so 407 is only a training visa for two years. 

190 and 489 require state sponsorship.  You occupation is not on NSW lists.  You will need to check other states. The cut off is age 45 so now or never I guess.  You need to look at how many points you can get too.

Without post qualification experience you might struggle.  

At the moment VIC isn’t sponsoring anyone, neither is QLD. The new financial and planning year starts in July sometimes the lists change then and states re open applications.

 

Your chances are slim but........

Without coming across as naive, where is the best place to check what states are sponsoring?

Thanks

Thank you Rammygirl,

I forgot to mention, I have been working in events while at uni (part time job) and currently an Operations Manager at a theatre. Both employers have written letters for me.

So if I hold of hitting the submit button until July time, there could be more state sponsoring opportunities?

Going to start praying to the Visa gods! got to try these things though xx

Hi everyone,

Totally new here and been having a read before posting. Just after a bit of clarification/reassurance on the visa process.

Having completed an Event Management BA Hons in 2017, and looking at the 'skills list' I saw Conference and Event Organsier is on there under the following visa numbers: 190, 407, 489 (S/T) with Vetassess as assessing authority

Just wondering in my naivety the following:

1. Which visa number is best? are there any differences?
2. How long is the process? (roughly)
3. Rough overall cost?
4. If wanted to located to NSW area will the visa number make a difference?
5. Can anyone recommend VETASSESS? or share there experience. I have almost completed their online application just need to hand over the 880 aus dollars

Just for background info: single female 42 in June, no kids, no hubby, just two pet ferrets who currently aren't allowed into Australia. With a dream to move to Australia
