Living in the UK on a study or work visa and considering Australia? Your UK visa does not transfer — you apply for an Australian visa on your own eligibility.
UK permission has no effect on an Australian application.
Most skilled visas need your occupation assessed in Australia.
Nurses and doctors also need Australian professional registration (AHPRA).
You can usually apply while you still hold your UK visa.
Skilled workers may qualify for points-tested visas (189, 190, 491) or employer-sponsored visas such as Skills in Demand. Students can apply for an Australian Student visa for a new course. The right route depends on your occupation, age, English and experience — including experience gained in the UK.
UK-trained nurses and doctors usually need registration with the relevant Australian board through AHPRA, as well as a visa. Registration can take months, so start it early.
Stay within your UK visa conditions until you leave. If your UK visa ends before your Australian visa is granted, you must still comply with UK rules.
A job offer or offer letter does not extend your visa by itself. You still need a genuine employer, a real role and a successful application through the official government process.
We check your profile against the route, explain what the official rules require, and help you prepare a complete, accurate application. We also introduce suitable candidates to employers registered in the destination country that are recruiting for genuine roles.
The employer interviews you and decides whether to hire you, and the government decides your visa. Where the destination country requires immigration advice to come from a registered or authorised professional, that advice is given by our partner lawyers.
We review your current visa, qualifications, experience and English.
Suitable routes, official requirements, realistic timelines and costs.
Applications and interviews with registered employers, where the route needs one.
Complete documents, submitted through the official process.
