Seeking advice on finding employer sponsorship opportunities
Hi everyone,
I'm exploring employer-sponsored visa pathways such as the 482 and eventually the 186 visa as a Systems Analyst.
My background includes systems analysis, business requirements gathering, stakeholder management, system documentation, testing, and IT support. I also have Australian work experience and am actively applying for roles across Australia, particularly in Adelaide and other regional areas.
For those who successfully obtained employer sponsorship in IT:
• Which job boards were most effective?
• Which companies are known to sponsor Systems Analysts or similar IT roles?
• Did you apply directly or through recruiters?
• How did you approach the sponsorship conversation with employers?
• Are there any recruiters or agencies that specialise in sponsored IT positions?
I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, recommendations, or any advice that could help.
Thank you.
