Some Basics On Your Application Process
Opportunities with Mining Alliance
Australian mining companies are actively searching for skilled international workers and many are prepared to offer full visa sponsorship. Mining Alliance connects you directly with these opportunities, giving you access to top roles with leading companies that provide excellent career growth. Alongside our Alliance Partners, we support you and your family throughout the recruitment and relocation process to Australia.
A Few Key Points to Know
1. The Skills in Demand (subclass 482) visa
From 7 December 2024, the Skills in Demand (SID) visa replaced the old Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. This visa provides a clear pathway for skilled workers to come to Australia.
Mining Alliance focuses only on the Specialist Skills Stream of the SID visa. This stream is designed for highly skilled technical and professional roles.
Important: The Specialist Skills Stream has specific requirements, including relevant experience, English language ability, and a minimum salary level of AUD $141,210 (for nominations lodged between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026).
2. Skills assessments
Some jobs and nationalities require a skills assessment as part of the visa process. Because this can take up to six months, it’s important to start early if one is required for your occupation.
