Your Pathway to Permanent Residence

Employer sponsorship is one of the most reliable pathways to permanent residence for childcare workers in Australia.

01
Subclass 482 — Skills in Demand Visa

Your childcare employer sponsors you on a temporary basis while you build your Australian work history. The Core Skills stream applies to most childcare occupations.

02
Qualification and Registration Assessment

Childcare qualifications obtained overseas require assessment by ACECQA. We advise on the correct pathway and ensure your qualifications are recognised before lodgement.

03
Subclass 186 — Permanent Residence

After the required period of employment on a 482 visa, you can apply for permanent residence through the 186 ENS Temporary Residence Transition stream.
