Helping skilled people from anywhere find work in Australia

Who runs JobsAbroad Australia

JobsAbroad Australia lists jobs with employers in Australia and New Zealand for skilled people of any nationality. The site is run by Red Migration FZC from its office at 108, 6th Street, Al Hamriya, Bur Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

We match applications to the roles they were sent for and, when a visa is needed, work with Australian registered migration agents and New Zealand licensed immigration advisers. The .com.au address reflects where the jobs are; the team itself is based in Dubai.

What the site offers

• Vacancies that set out duties, pay and requirements
• Visa guides checked against government sources
• Articles on CVs, skills assessment, licences and settling in
• Short videos and a WhatsApp channel for new roles
• Applications that cost you nothing

What happens after you apply

1. You pick a role and read its requirements.
2. You email the job reference, your CV and supporting evidence.
3. The team checks the fit and sends suitable applications to that employer.
4. The employer chooses whom to interview and whether to offer sponsorship.
5. You prepare your visa documents, with registered or licensed advice where needed, and travel once the visa is granted.

Get your documents in order

Whatever your nationality, an overseas application rests on documents that line up with each other. Your name should appear the same way on every record, or you should be able to show why it changed. Start collecting early, because some offices in some countries are slow.

• Passport: confirm how long it remains valid and which nationality it shows. Visa options follow the passport you hold, not the country you live or work in today.
• Proof of your trade or profession: certificates, transcripts and, for trades, apprenticeship or logbook records under the names the issuing body uses. Many occupations need a formal skills assessment from the assessing authority named for that occupation.
• Licences and registration: regulated work such as nursing, medicine or electrical work needs Australian registration or a licence from the relevant authority, usually for the state or territory where the job is. Holding a licence at home does not transfer it.
• Work history: signed reference letters on letterhead that give your dates, weekly hours, duties and tools or systems used, backed by payslips, contracts or tax records where you have them. Ask referees before passing on their details.
• Police certificates: these can be needed from more than one country, covering each place you have lived for a significant time. Request them when the authority asks, so they are still current when assessed.
• English: a recent test result, or the documents that prove a specific exemption.
• Translations: anything not in English needs an English translation that meets the receiving authority’s rules. Keep the originals with the translations.

Alongside the paperwork, sort out your notice period, savings for the first weeks, health cover and somewhere to stay on arrival.

The kinds of work listed

Jobs come from trades and construction, mining and resources, healthcare and aged care, engineering, hospitality and transport, depending on what employers need at the time. Look at the vacancies themselves rather than a general shortage list.

Regulated jobs need extra care: an electrician, nurse or doctor must hold the right Australian or New Zealand registration or licence before working.

Why a real job comes first

A specific vacancy tells you the duties, pay, location and what the employer will do on the visa side, before you spend money on a move. The employer’s decision, your eligibility and the government’s approval all still have to fall into place.

What we aim for

Moving to Australia changes your work, your family’s life and your finances. We want overseas applicants to see clearly what an employer and the visa authorities will ask for, and to check the official sources before they commit.

How we work

• Listings that say what the job involves
• Free applications through this site
• Recruitment kept separate from your personal visa eligibility
• Links to government pages so you can check the rules yourself
