We place skilled South Africans into Australian roles. Rigorous screening, customised recruitment, employer-sponsored work visas where they're needed · and the tourist-visa documentation South African passport holders need when the trip is short and the paperwork is heavier than it should be.
Plenty of agencies will post your CV. Few of them have actually moved someone from Johannesburg to Brisbane and back again. Four reasons it matters who you pick:
Operating across both countries means the South African candidate and the Australian employer don't get lost in the time zone. One practice, both sides of the conversation.
Visa support is provided by a registered Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) agent. Operating under the MARA Code of Conduct for Registered Migration Agents · no shortcuts, no guarantees we can't make.
The principal answers. The case isn't handed to a junior, an offshore admin, or an automated pipeline. The same person who scopes the case manages it through to placement.
Two decades of cross-border professional practice. CA(SA) and CA(Australia) qualifications behind the migration work · which matters when a placement carries tax and structure implications.
We work end-to-end on the placement · candidate side, employer side, and the visa work that bridges them. Not three separate vendors. Not three separate invoices. One practice that owns the whole motion.
Qualification verification, English-language assessment, character checks, occupation-specific skills assessment, prior work history substantiation. The shortlist Australian employers receive is one they can act on without re-running the diligence themselves.
Australian employers brief the role, the structure, and the location. We source against a South African candidate pool that fits the brief on day one · not "best of the inbox" but matched to the JD, the visa eligibility, and the relocation realism.
Employer-sponsored work-visa preparation through a MARA-registered agent. Document pack, sponsor liaison, lodgement, decision support. The job offer and the visa are handled by the same practice · so neither one waits on the other.
We prepare and submit visa applications under the MARA Code of Conduct. Visa outcomes are decided by the Department of Home Affairs · we do not, and cannot, guarantee them.
If you're going to Australia for a holiday, to see family, or for a short business visit, you can't use the free eVisitor (Subclass 651) or the instant ETA (Subclass 601). South Africa is on neither list. The visitor route is the paid Subclass 600, full documentation, with a Genuine Temporary Entrant assessment that quietly refuses more SA applications than it should.
Holidays, family visits, recreation. Stays of 3, 6 or 12 months, single or multiple entry. The application needs evidence of ties to South Africa, financial capacity, and a clear plan to leave at the end of the stay · packaged so the assessor doesn't have to guess.
Meetings, conferences, contract negotiations, exploratory business visits. Cannot be used to work or sell to the public. Useful for South African operators evaluating an AU expansion before committing to a sponsored work visa.
Every Subclass 600 application is assessed for whether the applicant genuinely intends to enter Australia temporarily. The GTE is the biggest single cause of visitor-visa refusals for South African applicants · typically because the supporting documentation didn't tell the right story.
We package the evidence so the answer is obvious: ties to South Africa, employment, finances, prior international travel, purpose of the visit, return plan. That's what hiring a MARA-registered agent gets you.
Most migration goes wrong because someone gave general advice when the case needed specific. We do specific.
Raymond is a registered Chartered Accountant in both South Africa and Australia and a MARA-registered Migration Agent. His career spans Absa Investment Banking, KPMG Corporate Finance in Melbourne, and twenty years of cross-border practice across SA and Australia. AussieJobs is founder-led · he's the agent who answers when the case is structural, financial, or messy.
The process was seamless, and the support from their team was invaluable. We were hiring marketing professionals out of South Africa and the visa side ran in parallel with the recruitment side · exactly as it should.
A migration case has two sides · the South African side (initial consultation, eligibility, document prep, lodgement coordination) and the Australian side (post-arrival support, employer liaison, where applicable). Raymond practises across both, by appointment, in both Johannesburg and Australia.
You apply, we screen, we put you on the shortlist for roles you genuinely fit. If an Australian employer wants to interview, we coordinate it. If they want to hire, we run the employer-sponsored work-visa side in parallel · so the job offer and the visa land together. We don't charge candidates for the placement work; the employer covers the recruitment fee on the Australian side.
Shared language, shared business culture, transferable qualifications, strong English, and a candidate pool that takes the relocation seriously because they've made the decision before they get on the call. We brief on the role, source against a SA candidate pool we already know, and present a short, accurate, hireable shortlist · not a stack of CVs you have to re-screen yourself.
Most placements run on an employer-sponsored work visa · the right subclass depends on the role, the occupation list, the location, and the employer's sponsorship status. We scope the specifics on the discovery call rather than guess. We do not pitch points-tested permanent residency · that's a different exercise from getting you into a job in Australia.
Because they're not available to South African passport holders. The free eVisitor (Subclass 651) is restricted to citizens of certain European countries. The Electronic Travel Authority (Subclass 601) is restricted to passports on a specific list · UK, US, Singapore, Japan, and similar. South Africa is on neither list. The route is the paid Subclass 600 Visitor Visa, full documentation, with a Genuine Temporary Entrant assessment.
No. Working Holiday (Subclass 417) and Work and Holiday (Subclass 462) both require a bilateral agreement between Australia and the applicant's country. South Africa has neither agreement. There is no working-holiday route for SA passport holders, and any agency telling you otherwise is misrepresenting the position.
No, and the MARA Code of Conduct prohibits any registered migration agent from doing so. We prepare and submit the strongest application the case supports. The Department of Home Affairs decides. Any agency offering you a guarantee is breaching the Code.

Passport, current location, what you're trying to achieve, and your rough timing. We'll respond within one working day.
