Questions

Registration and job matching

Start with your CV and your work-rights information.

Is registering really free?

Yes. Registering, creating your profile and applying for jobs is free. The $295 AIA immigration consultation is optional and separate.

How do I register?

Use Google, Facebook or email at Hire Australia. Creating a smart profile takes about 5 minutes. Uploading your CV fills in most of the form, ready for you to review.

What information comes first?

Work rights are asked first. Review your CV details and make sure your skills, experience and contact information are current.

Can I browse jobs without an account?

Anyone can browse job teasers on the Hire Australia job board. You need a free account to see full job details and apply.

What if I do not see a suitable job?

You can join the talent pool so Hire Australia's recruiters can match you to new roles. Keep your profile and availability current.

How do I keep my availability up to date?

Hire Australia sends availability check‑ins every two weeks, helping keep your profile current as your plans change.

I registered with GRIA before. What should I do?

Hire Australia has kept the details you gave GRIA. To apply for jobs and keep your availability up to date, register with Hire Australia to set up your profile. You can contact Hire Australia to see, correct or delete your details.

Questions

Sponsorship and immigration advice

Advice depends on your circumstances. Registration does not guarantee a job, sponsorship or a visa.

Can I register if I need sponsorship?

Yes. Tell Hire Australia about your work rights when you create your profile. Sponsorship depends on the employer, the role and your visa eligibility.

Do I have to pay $295 to be considered for jobs?

No. Registration and job applications are free. If you need sponsorship, you can choose a $295 consultation with AIA to discuss your visa options. It is optional.

What happens after a job match?

After a job match, AIA checks visa eligibility. A job match is not a visa approval or a promise of sponsorship.

Who provides immigration advice?

Australian Immigration Agency (AIA) has 15+ years of migration experience. Its migration agents are MARA registered and members of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA).

Does the consultation cover my visa fees?

The $295 is for the optional consultation. Migration fees are quoted case by case by AIA, in writing. Government fees are charged separately by the Australian Government.

What documents, qualifications or English tests will I need?

The requirements depend on the role and any visa pathway. Keep your CV, qualifications and work-history information ready, then ask what evidence is needed for your situation. AIA can advise on visa requirements.

Can my family come with me?

Ask AIA about your family's circumstances before making plans. Do not assume that a job match confirms visa eligibility for you or your family.

How long will recruitment or a visa take?

There is no single timeframe. The role, employer, required checks and any visa process affect timing. Ask about the next step for your circumstances before arranging travel.

Questions

Preparing for a role

Keep your plans practical while recruitment progresses.

What should I do before an interview?

Review the role, prepare examples of your skills and experience and write down questions about duties, location and working arrangements. For video interviews, check your connection, sound and a quiet space.

Where can I find a step-by-step guide?

Read the recruitment journey, preparing for your new role and life in Australia.

Who do I contact with another question?

Contact Hire Australia for general enquiries, or contact AIA for immigration advice.

Ready to register for free?
