Huge Demand for Boilermakers & Welders in Australia

Your Skills Could Shape Australia’s Future

1. Huge Demand for Boilermakers & Welders in Australia

  • Over 2,500+ Boilermaker jobs are currently listed on SEEK across Australia.
  • Employers in mining, energy, fabrication, and infrastructure are facing a major shortage of skilled tradespeople.
  • This shortage is why the Australian Government allows employers to sponsor skilled workers directly under the Subclass 482 (Skills In Demand Visa)

2. Why Choose Australia on a 482 Visa

  • Strong wages: Tradesmen earn AUD 77,515 per year, with overtime and allowances on top.
  • Family options: You can bring eligible dependents to live, work, or study in Australia with you.
  • Workplace standards: Australia is known for high safety, regulated conditions, and worker rights.
  • Career development: Gain Australian-recognized work experience, which boosts your future visa options.

3. Pathway to Permanent Residency (PR)

The Subclass 482 visa itself is temporary, but it is one of the most reliable stepping stones to PR for skilled trades. Here’s how:

  • Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186): After 2 years with your sponsoring employer, you may be eligible if your employer nominates you for PR.
  • Regional Pathways (Subclass 494, 191): If your role is in regional Australia, you can transition to permanent residency after meeting work requirements.
  • Skilled Migration Points: Work experience gained in Australia gives you extra points if you later apply independently for PR visas.

👉 Bottom line: The 482 doesn’t hand you PR immediately, but it opens the door and gives you the platform to earn it.

4. Why Now Is the Right Time

  • The Australian Government has fixed the 2025, 26 migration intake at ~185,000, with skill shortages being a major focus.
  • Boilermakers are officially listed as an in-demand occupation.
  • With new infrastructure and mining projects underway, employers are actively sponsoring international candidates today.
