I am a Business Systems Analyst from India . Once I receive the Australian PR visa, realistically, what are my chances of securing a job in Australia that is relevant to my current experience and skill set?

Hi F(22) i have a fine arts bachelor degree but i plan to get a masters in clinical psychology(yes i will be taking the bridging courses) I was wondering if i can move here after gaining some work experience for 2 years as either a counsellor or psychologist? Is it possible? Ik its in the greenlist but at the same time it is highly regulated so… I was wondering if it would be alright..?

Hi, I hope you are all well.

I am 23 in the UK. I was in Melbourne for 6 months and it was a dream come true. I left because I was scared that my working visa would come to an end eventually I would be back to square one in the UK.

My dream is PR in Aus so I can work towards opening my own cafe.

Here in the Uk I manage restaurants and run a small side hustle doing social media for restaurants and takeaways.

How can I get PR before I move to Aus so I can live comfortably? Anything any advice please

Hi everyone, I’m planning my first Australia PR application under Management Consultant (ANZSCO 224711).

My profile is fairly straightforward: M. Pharm with \\\~10 years of experience, first time attempt for family PR (Myself: 34 years, Spouse: 33 years with around 9 years of experience in different domain, and kid: 10 months)

I’m considering whether to self-file OR use an agency like Y-Axis, GIEC Global, or another consultant.

For those with similar experience, can you please help me:

\\- Is the entire process manageable through DIY?

\\- Does an agency add any real value for a straightforward case? Is it worth it?

\\- How important is it to get professional help skills assessment, EOI/state nomination, visa filings and documentation?

\\- If you were in my situation, would you DIY or use an agent?

Looking for recent, genuine experiences from people who have actually gone through the process. I am confused, need genuine help please.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm hoping to get some advice from fellow South Africans who have successfully moved overseas through an employer-sponsored job.

My husband is an experienced IT Support / End User Support specialist currently living and working in South Africa. We are hoping to relocate in the future and are researching the most realistic options for someone in his field.

Hi everyone. 🇿🇦

My husband is an experienced IT Support / End User Support specialist currently working in South Africa. We are researching the possibility of him moving to Australia through employer sponsorship.

His experience is in IT Support, End User Support, Helpdesk, Desktop Support, Systems Support, hardware/software support and networking/infrastructure.

We would like to hear from South Africans who have successfully moved to Australia through employer-sponsored IT work while still living in South Africa.

If you have done this, we'd really appreciate hearing about your experience:

• Which visa pathway did you use?
• Did your Australian employer sponsor you while you were offshore?
• How did you find an employer willing to sponsor you?
• Were there particular IT occupations or employers that were more open to offshore sponsorship?
• Is there anything you wish you had known before starting the process?

We're particularly interested in the Skills in Demand (subclass 482) pathway and whether it is realistic for an experienced IT Support professional applying from South Africa.

Thank you! 🙏🇿🇦🇦🇺

Hi everyone,

I’m a high school student from Greece starting my final year in September. I’m doing the Health Sciences pathway, and honestly, I already know I don't want to stay here. I can't stand living in Greece anymore, and frankly, Europe as a whole feels like it’s going downhill. My absolute dream is to move to Australia.

I have a few specific goals, and I need some realistic advice from locals on how to balance them:

High Income: I have some really expensive hobbies that I need to support, so making good money is a top priority for me.

Work-Life Balance: I absolutely refuse to spend my entire youth locked inside a house studying or working 24/7. I want to enjoy my 20s and actually have a life.

My initial plan was Medicine or Dentistry. If everything goes perfectly, I’ll graduate at 24. But from what I’ve read, recognizing a Greek medical degree in Australia via the AMC Standard Pathway is a nightmare. It requires super hard, expensive exams, and I'm worried the endless studying and residency will completely ruin my 20s. Is it even worth it?

My alternative was Nursing. But Greek degrees fall under Ahpra's Stream B, meaning I'd have to pass the NCLEX and OSCE (OBA process). Is this realistic for European grads? Also, can nurses actually make a high income in Australia (with overtime/penalties) while still having decent free time?

Lastly, what about Allied Health? Degrees like Physiotherapy or Medical Radiography take 4 years here. Do these jobs offer high income and a better lifestyle/easier visa pathways compared to Doctors and Nurses?

Just like I said earlier, I dont know what to do anymore. I thought i was set on becoming a doctor but for the past 3 month I've been reconsidering everything and its driving me crazy. I did an extensive amount of research and I still can't figure out what the right choice is. It's now 5am, ive reached my breaking point and have now turned to reddit for help. What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? I appreciate any advice given.
