START HERE ON YOUR JOURNEY TO AUSTRALIA ...

We know you are eager to get started, but please do read this before you start entering anything.  We have tried to make this as simple as possible, but in order to determine your eligibility there are specific requirements in terms of occupation, qualification and work experience.  If a drop-down box does not give the answer you want, please select the most appropriate.

Enter your details below.  If you already have a visa, or are in the process, then enter the details of the visa/occupation you are applying for.  If you haven’t started the process, or are unsure of what you are eligible for, please select the NO option to take advantage of the Visa points calculator.

Click on the ? for additional information to assist in selecting the correct answers and for lots of additional information.

Occupation Help

These occupations are taken from the Skilled Occupation List.  The first selection is a sector and then another drop-down box will open with the various occupations.

The full list is available at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Each occupation has a 6 digit ANZSCO code which describes the job duties.  It is the job duties that matter, not necessarily the job title.  To check the job duties click the ANZSCO code and it will bring up the job duties.

 

If you cannot find your occupation on this list, we would recommend visiting the DUC Employment Hub and searching for your job, as there may be another visa option available to you which would require Employer Sponsorship. These are covered by Labour Agreements. See our job opportunities here and apply directly to the employer. These jobs will mention if they are offering sponsorship or not.

 

If you can’t find your job there, please keep an eye out on this link as we are constantly adding new jobs.

 

Qualification Info / Help

The drop-down answers relate to the skill assessing authority requirements and may not match the qualifications you have.  You should select the most applicable.  Some occupations do not have more than 1 option; this will be because of the strict requirements by the skill asssessing authority.

Your qualifications may be higher than shown; in this case choose the highest shown available.  For example you may have a degree, but this is not shown as an option since it is not a requirement for a skills assessment.

Are you applying for this visa on your own?
(i.e. no partner and no children)

Does your Partner have Competent English?

Does your Partner have Competent English?

Competent English = Passport from UK, Ireland, USA, Canada or NZ.  Passport holders from other countries will need to sit an English test to generate an additional 5 points for your application.

How is your English?

Australia requires English speaking migrants.  If you hold a passport from the UK, Ireland, NZ, Canada or the USA you are deemed as having Competent English.

 

Visa main applicants can sit an approved English test (i.e. IELTS, PTE Pearson Academic) to generate additional points towards your skilled visa.  Proficient level = 10 points and Superior level = 20 points.

Australia

The DUC Employment Hub is an innovative product of the Down Under Centre (DUC), a one-stop centre for all your migration needs.

We provide client focused migration pathways: skills assessments, visas and relocation services. We understand the importance of job security and have created the DUC Employment Hub; a tool to connect you, the applicant, with employers looking for your skills.

The DUC Employment Hub has invaluable information to assist with your move to Australia besides potentially getting a job:

  • Setting up your Tax File Number (TFN)
  • Organise the necessary licensing and/or registration
  • Set up a Bank Account
  • Organise Money Transfers
  • Ship your possessions, including your pets
  • Private Health Insurance
  • Travel Insurance
  • Short-term accommodation
  • Organise schooling

 

As well as information on finding your feet once you move:

  • How to get your driving licence
  • Understand insurance requirements
  • What’s required to rent a property
  • How does Childcare work
  • Getting a mobile phone and broadband
  • And much more …………….

 

Key points:

  1. Make sure you upload a 1 minute videos – Employers gain a huge amount of information from a video that you just can’t get across in a CV
  2. Make sure you’re visible to Employers! Edit your profile and ensure you tick “Looking for work” and “Ready to submit to employers” If not, the Employers can’t see you.
  3. Update your profile each time you hit a stage update and upload the documents if necessary.

 

Once your profile is complete, and your Visa Application has been submitted, schedule a Skype consultation with one of our employment and relocation experts in Australia.  We will assess your personal profile, give advice on how to make it better so employers notice you, and we’ll also show you how to save money on your relocation to Australia.

Our experts are Expats with recent personal experience; they have moved their family to Australia and are aware of what is required for a successful move - both financially and emotionally. After your consultation they will target specific employers that match your requirements.

Our Australian team are constantly contacting companies to educate them on the benefits of the DUC Employment Hub and the availability of job ready candidates so new employers are being added daily.

 

 

 

 

New Zealand

Looking for a great lifestyle in New Zealand?

 With the DUC Employment Hub we can help put you in the best position to secure a job offer and visa for New Zealand. You will need a job offer before you can apply for a visa and you will need to be prepared for the move and visa application process before you can secure a job offer.

 Knowing where to start is often the first barrier people make when trying to move to New Zealand. You may have heard of the “Catch 22” situation that everyone faces.

 “I can’t get a visa because I don’t have a job offer, but I can’t get a job offer because I don’t have a visa!”

 This can be difficult to overcome especially without support to remove the barriers that exist between you and the employers looking to hire you. To explain it simply, we help you make the move to NZ by removing the barriers that exist between you the employers and the visa process.

 We minimise the risk and maximise the opportunity for you and the employer.

 The DUC Employment Hub is an essential tool that we are actively promoting to employers here in NZ.

 If you want to be promoted to employers as a person who is skilled, eligible for a visa and ready to make the move with our support, then you are in the right place.

 Get started now by completing our form! You can also schedule a call with one of our Migration Consultants who will be able to discuss your options for moving to New Zealand and answer all the questions you have about your move. We strongly recommend this

 

How It Works

Just complete a simple questionnaire to give us some information to see if you could be eligible to migrate. Once approved you will have the option to book a Skype consultation with one of our Migration Consultants (essential if you want real clarity) or you can just log straight into your profile and upload your CV, and edit your details.

 Employers will also log in and add the occupations they are looking to fill, plus the location of those jobs. When they get a match with you they can read your profile and contact us to arrange an interview.

 If you decide to use our full visa and relocation assistance you have the added advantage of givng peace of mind to the employer (and yourself) that if a job offer is secured, we are here to help make sure the immigration process runs as quickly and smoothly as possible. To do this make sure you take the option of a Skype call.
