About sponsor jobs
- Where can I find visa sponsorship jobs in Australia?
- Look for jobs at employers that can sponsor, then read each ad for what it says about sponsorship. Settledin's job board marks ads from employers on the Home Affairs accredited sponsor list (as at 15 January 2025), and the occupation pages here count them.
- Which occupations have the most jobs at listed sponsors?
- As of 28 October 2026: registered nurses (225 ads), physiotherapists (82 ads), occupational therapists (79 ads). The table on this page has all 13, with links to each occupation's breakdown by state.
- Does a job at a listed sponsor offer sponsorship?
- Not necessarily. Being on the list shows the employer's sponsor status on 15 January 2025, not that a particular job is sponsored. Each ad says what it offers; confirm with the employer.
- How are these jobs counted?
- Each ad's employer name is matched against the Home Affairs accredited sponsor list released under FOI (FA 25/01/01229), and repeat postings of the same ad are counted once. Matching is by company name, so a few may be wrong. The counts are refreshed monthly.
- Is it ever right to pay for sponsorship?
- No. Never pay an employer or anyone else for sponsorship. Check any migration agent on the OMARA register before using their services.
