Does anyone know about the state sponsorship? I've read on the immigration website that as long as you have a 12 month contract in a Junior or Senior teaching position, it's possible to apply for it?
Thank you
Steph

Where can I get the information from?

Do you have a source for that info?

There are lots of different types of state sponsorship - the visa sub class I am most familiar with is the 190 (a permanent resident visa), and the 489 (a pathway to permanent residency visa).

It really depends on the specific job you will be nominating, but numerous state / territories have specific criteria that you have to meet before they will nominate you - and often having a job offer is a common one, particularly if you are applying from offshore.

I'm not sure what the rules are around sharing links / recommendations of migration agents (who share info freely) - but once you hit 5 posts feel free to drop me a PM and I'd be happy to share a bunch of websites / forum threads etc.

All the best

Thank you. I'm a teacher in WA and looking for a state sponsorship. I'm wondering if it's just as simple to have the job offer or if I need more criteria. I've applied for a 189 before and had it rejected as my latest experience has been in junior and not senior school. My understanding is that junior school teachers can be state sponsored.

Thanks again

It is basically the same process as for the 189 application PLUS all the additional requirements for state nomination.

What visa are you on now?

A student visa. Subclass 500

A student visa. Subclass 500

Maybe start by reading up on the WA state government migration website.

I think he was referring to the Home Affairs website, not the state migration website.
