Hey there 👋

Continuing my series of country guides, I’ve put together a list of helpful links for those considering a move to Australia.

Hat tip to Eli Gündüz, Principal Tech Recruiter at Atlassian and founder of Careersy Coaching, for his contribution to this compilation!

Here we go:

To relocate wisely, start by doing some research.

If you’re looking to relocate for a tech job, there are companies in Australia that hire talent from abroad and offer visa sponsorship/relocation support. Here are a few I’m aware of:

At some point in the past, WiseTech Global was hiring software engineers from abroad for Sydney-based roles via my Relocate.me job board, but I’m not sure whether they are still hiring internationally.

Finally, there’s a dedicated GitHub repository listing Australian companies that provide work visa sponsorship: https://github.com/geshan/au-companies-providing-work-visa-sponsorship. It may not always be up to date, but it can still serve as a helpful starting point.

In addition, the Australian Department of Home Affairs releases Freedom of Information (FOI) lists of approved/accredited sponsors, showing which employers were eligible to sponsor skilled workers at a specific point in time. Latest available list (2025 release): https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/foi/files/2025/fa-250101229-document-released.PDF.

SEEK, Indeed, and LinkedIn are generally considered the “big three” job platforms in Australia, offering the widest range of listings and employer reach. Here are the links for quick access:

For tech/startup jobs, I’d also suggest using Wellfound and the monthly “Who’s hiring?” thread on Hacker News (the latest one is here).

For example, a few months ago, Stile Education shared a post on Hacker News about open tech roles with visa and relocation support available.

And, of course, Glassdoor. While it’s not Australia-specific, there are consistently many roles listed for Australia, and you can filter results by posting date – which is especially useful when tracking new openings.

That’s it! If you know of any other helpful Australia-related resources worth adding to this list, please share them in the comments.

Best,

Andrew
