This page covers roles commonly known as Management Accountant, Tax Accountant, Senior Accountant, Financial Accountant, Cost Accountant, Audit Accountant — all of which fall under ANZSCO 221111 or closely related codes for visa sponsorship purposes.
Consistent regional shortage; high demand for tax and management accountants in metropolitan markets. That sustained shortage is the driver behind employer-sponsored visas remaining a practical hiring tool for this role.
Typical employer types sponsoring accountants across Western Australia: accounting firms (Big 4 and mid-tier), corporate finance teams, government, small business advisors, in-house finance.
Western Australia (WA) is one of Australia's most active sponsorship jurisdictions. Employers based in WA can sponsor accountants through the standard 482 Skills in Demand visa, the 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (for regional postcodes within the state), and any active DAMA agreements covering specific regional areas. The state's economy across hospitality, healthcare, construction, mining (where applicable), and agriculture drives consistent demand for skilled overseas workers.
The typical market salary for accountants across Western Australia is around A$70,000 to A$130,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and the specific employer. The 482 SID visa requires the nominated salary to meet either the Core Skills Income Threshold or the relevant market salary — whichever is higher. These figures are indicative ranges based on industry reporting; always verify the current visa salary threshold and market rate before nominating.
What's NOT a cost: SponsorTalent is not a recruitment agency. There are no placement fees, no percentage of salary, no ongoing licensing fees — just the one-time A$30 incl. GST unlock per candidate.
Registration is completely free for employers, candidates, and migration agents. SponsorTalent is funded by a $30 unlock fee that either side pays once when they want to contact a match.
Yes. Visa sponsorship applications must be handled by a registered migration agent (MARN holder) or an Australian legal practitioner. SponsorTalent introduces you to qualified agents who can manage the lodgement end-to-end.
From sponsorship application to visa grant, the typical timeline is 2 to 6 months — depending on the visa subclass, the employer's standard business sponsorship status, the candidate's skills assessment, and current Department of Home Affairs processing times. The 494 (Regional) and DAMA pathways may take longer due to additional regional certifying body requirements.
The 482 Skills in Demand visa requires the role to meet either the Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) or relevant market salary, whichever is higher. For accountants the market rate ranges roughly A$70,000 to A$130,000 annually depending on experience and location. Regional and DAMA roles may have concessional salary thresholds. Always verify the current threshold with a registered migration agent.
For Accountant (ANZSCO 221111), the relevant assessing authority is CPA Australia, CA ANZ, or Institute of Public Accountants (IPA). The skills assessment is a separate process from the visa application and should be initiated by the candidate as early as possible — assessments can take 6 to 16 weeks depending on the authority.
For Accountant on a 482 SID visa: IELTS 6.0 each band (minimum for skills assessment). Different visa subclasses (186 ENS, 494 Regional) and different occupations (especially regulated health professions) carry different English requirements — always confirm with a registered migration agent before booking tests.
Three steps: find your candidate (browse the profiles on this page and unlock the ones that fit), make sure the business can sponsor — as a Standard Business Sponsor, or under a labour agreement or DAMA — then have a registered migration agent lodge the nomination and visa. Register free as an employer to contact candidates and post roles.
Often, yes — labour agreements and regional DAMAs exist precisely for roles the standard lists and settings do not cover, with concessions on occupation, age, English and salary that vary by agreement. See our labour agreements guide and the DAMA guide for how each route works.
