QuH Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hello all, I am in Oz on a Working Holiday Visa, currently in my second year. Over from England where I was a Police Officer for 12 years, sadly this is not a route for me here at this time. Due to my previous work I have gained employment in Oz by working in Security but I need to find a Sponsor. So far no such luck, does anyone know any Security companies who Sponsor? I am also open to other ideas.... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 It's not just a case of finding a sponsor. Employers can't sponsor just anyone, the occupation must be on the Skilled List. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuH Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 The occupation I am looking at is on the list yes, would mean a 494 Visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Work out what region you want to work in and start sending applications in to businesses in that region, even if they're not looking for staff right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did a quick Google and there seems to be a fair few jobs available, most stipulating a NSW or QLD security licence. Im not sure where you are at the minute or if these jobs would even sponsor but it maybe worth calling them to see (i say call as its too easy for company's to ignore emails) Static Security - COVID Duties - Trinity Corporate Solutions are urgently looking for retail guards for a number of busy sites in Sydney.

Be mindful that for a 494 your occupation also needs to be on the list for the specific region, of the specific State you are looking to be sponsored by. And even then, you still need to be invited to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
