Need Sponsorship ASAP

Please can anyone give us advice?

My partner and I are living in Australia on ETA visas which expire in just under 3 months. We really want to stay on in australia and work but immigration have told us we need to apply for a working holiday visa while we are out of the country. We don't have the funds to exit the country, apply and then return to look for jobs. We have just graduated from university in the UK and both have good CVs. Immigration suggested that we should look for sponsorship with a company. Can anyone suggest how we should start looking or any companies that are pro-sponsorship? We are staying in Mosman, NSW. Please this is very urgent as we need to start work asap.

Many thanks.

hello hopes this help's,

Migrating to Australia: Sponsorship
if you do decided to get the one year holiday visa try getting a cheap flight to some were close it is very quick i think 48 hours to get that visa.

good luck

We have been in Sydney three and a half years, had two kids here and now my husband has been made redundant. We are on a 457 visa which gets cancelled when the job ends. No luck with getting sponsorship from anyone so far so looks like we have to leave the country. My advice would be to fly to New Zealand apply online for working holiday visa then hopefully you can get sponsered at a later date. My husband is extremely qualified and is still having problems. Thanks Australia!!!!

Ah you have good taste so

yea mine spelt the Irish way but Nieve is probably easier for people to figure out pronunciation of the name.

have you considered moving to another part of Australia to find sponsorship yet.just thinking out loud
