Register your trade

Free, confidential, no obligation. We only share your details with an employer when there's a real role that fits you.

By registering you agree we may contact you about matching roles and share your profile with prospective sponsoring employers. We never charge workers any fee connected to sponsorship or a visa. This page provides general information only, not migration advice — all visa matters are handled by a registered migration agent or legal practitioner engaged directly by you or the employer.

Employers: can't fill a trade role?

Common questions

Does this cost me anything?

No. Nothing, ever. It is illegal in Australia to ask a worker for payment in return for visa sponsorship — any "agent" who asks you to pay for a sponsorship is breaking the law. We never will.

I'm on a student / graduate / bridging visa. Can I still register?

Yes — onshore candidates are our priority. New fast-tracked skills assessments through Trades Recognition Australia are specifically designed for visa holders already in Australia with trade qualifications and practical experience.

I have years of experience but no formal Australian qualification.

Register anyway. Skills assessments can recognise overseas qualifications and practical experience — and we match skilled roles beyond the trades list too. The migration agent or lawyer will confirm what applies to your trade.

Who does the visa paperwork?

A registered migration agent or Australian legal practitioner — engaged directly, not by us. We handle the job match; they handle the migration side. We do not give migration advice.

What kind of visa is it?

Typically the employer-sponsored Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482), which for core construction trades carries a pathway to permanent residency. The migration agent or lawyer will confirm what fits your situation.
