Sponsorship follows skill shortages. For Sri Lankan candidates the most common sponsored occupations include Accountant, Registered Nurse, Chef, Software Developer and more — on the 482, 494 and 186 visas.
Your occupation decides the assessing authority — for Sri Lanka candidates that typically means CPA Australia / CA ANZ (accounting), ANMAC (nursing), ACS (IT), Engineers Australia (engineering) and TRA (trades). Start it early; assessments can take weeks to months.
