Most Indians who move to Australia or are planning to settle in Australia find it challenging to land a job in the country. This is usually not because of the lack of qualifications but due to the unawareness of immigrants’ jobs in-demand.
Every year, Australia releases a list called MSOL with all the occupations in-demand for the current year. With the right knowledge, skills, and qualifications, you can easily find a job from the MSOL List. Read on to find out what are the available jobs in Australia for Indians in 2023 in this blog.

Now that you know what are the jobs in Australia for Indians and the average salary you can draw living there, let’s take a look at how to start with your job search in Australia.
Here are the top 3 tips for finding a job in Australia:
1. Migrate to Australia with a Skilled Visa
Skilled Migration Pathways in Australia:
- Subclass 189
Subclass 189 or the Skilled Independent Visa is a Permanent Residency visa that lets you settle in Australia without a job offer or state sponsorship.
The main requirement for this visa is a positive skill assessment report and good English proficiency. Since the eligibility criteria for this visa type is minimal, it is a popular choice amongst foreign-nationals.
- Subclass 190
Subclass 190 or the Skilled Nominated Visa is also a Permanent Residency Visa that lets you settle and work in Australia indefinitely. However, as the name suggests, this visa requires the applicant to have a state nomination to be eligible to apply for the visa.
- Subclass 482
This visa lets employers address labour shortages by bringing in skilled workers from across the globe to fill the appropriate vacancies in Australia’s job economy. With the Subclass 482 or the Temporary Skill Shortage visa, you can stay in Australia for a maximum of 4 years.
