Mining Alliance links you with these openings, providing you with access to high-quality appointments with top-tier companies with excellent career growth potential. Mining Alliance and our Alliance Partners are also here to fully support you and your family throughout your recruitment and relocation journey to Australia.
A few quick points to guide and assist you here as you start your journey:
​​
1. Understand the Skills in Demand (SID) Visa (Subclass 482): As of December 7, 2024, the SID visa has replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, streamlining pathways for skilled workers. Mining Alliance opportunities focus on two of the three streams offered:
-
Specialist Skills Stream: For highly skilled professional technical appointments.
-
Core Skills Stream: For occupations listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL)
NOTE: Each stream has specific eligibility criteria, including work experience and English language requirements.
​​
2. Skills Assessments: Certain occupations and nationalities necessitate a skills assessment as part of the visa process. Review the latest legislative instruments to ascertain if this applies to you. Completing a skills assessment can take up to six months, so we must initiate this process promptly if required.​
