Singaporean getting a job in Australia (Please Help)

[Bling]

Hi Guys,

Need some advise..

I'm a Singaporean looking to start out a career in Australia however i have no idea where should i start from.. I've done a bit of research and found that i was suppose to obtain a work visa first? Is that so?

As i hasn't gotten any job in Australia yet, by any chance can i actually applied the job online with companies before i get the visa?

If you are under 31, the easiest way to come to Australia is on a Work and Holiday Visa.

That will allow you to come to Australia and work for a year.  Then you go home.  

If you want to move to Australia and stay here, that is much more difficult.   First of all, you must find out if you qualify for a visa. 

Australia is very fussy about whom it accepts. You must have qualifications and work experience in an occupation that Australia needs.  If you don't meet those criteria, you cannot work in Australia, even if an employer would like to employ you.  So that is your first step.

The easiest way to find out if you qualify is to see a migration agent.

Thanks for the information, I am also looking to relocate to Australia and this seems like a good start.

Australia immigration currently classifies this work and holiday program under visa subclass 462. Based on the latest information, it seems that there is no need to provide proof of employment at the point of application.

Does this mean that once the visa is granted, it is not necessary for me to be employed? And if I am employed, do I have to upload these documents to my Immi account? As a section indicates that I have to pay Australian taxes although I am on working holiday.

You do not need to be employed when you apply for a 462, they might ask you to show you have enough funds to support yourself though.

And yes, anything you earn in Australia would be taxed at the relevant rate - you may be able to ckaim some of it back when you do a tax rerun at the end of the financia;=l year (June 30th)
