A very Merry Christmas to all of our clients, job seekers, and employers, from the staff at Kookaburra Veterinary Employment and Vet Suppliers Directory.
The Kookaburra office will be closed from 5pm on Thursday December 22nd until 9am on Tuesday 3rtd January 2023.
Kookaburra Vet Employment currently has 405 permanent vacancies for vets, and 187 vacancies for vet nurses, in Australia. Filling a vacancy in current market conditions can be time consuming and expensive, and success is not guaranteed. We recently did a couple of short online surveys which provide food for thought for veterinary employers – both vets and vet nurses replied.

In a reaction to the enforced quarantine of the pandemic in not just our own countries, but also often our towns and cities, travelling is now firmly back on the “to do” list of more people than ever.
Animal Welfare Charities that depend on volunteers suffered severely during the pandemic, so in 2024, maybe you’re thinking it’s time for you to organise that adventure of a lifetime?
Vets, Vet Nurses and Vet Techs are in the enviable position of being able to take their skills to multiple overseas countries, experience local life and culture, educate and teach, expand their own skill set, and make a real difference to animal and human welfare.
Kookaburra lists volunteer vacancies free of charge on our website, so if you have an association with a charity organisation overseas and are seeking Vets, VNs, Vet Techs or students, please contact us at jobs@kookaburravets.com .

Information below has been sourced from the Department of Home Affairs website www.homeaffairs.gov.au in September 2023.
The Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) was temporary and existed while Australia recovered from the COVID pandemic.
It has now been replaced by the Skilled Occupation List. This combined list comprises occupations on
The following visas, which may be of interest to vets and vet nurses, are available to individuals qualified to work in the eligible skilled occupations. Please see www.homeaffairs.gov.au for details of additional visas.
Before an employer is able to nominate a vet to sponsor in the TSS 482 or Regional 494 visa categories, they must be, or have applied to become a standard business sponsor. Once approved, this status lasts for 5 years. ( Further eligibility requirements exist in order to be an Accredited sponsor, including NOT being a sole trader or partnership ). As of 6th September 2023 this is the direct link for information on the procedure:
The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) replaced the old 457 visa in March 2018.
TSS visa holders can work in Australia in their nominated occupation for their approved sponsor under one of three streams:
Application for the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) involves a three-step process:
Step 1: a sponsorship application by the employer
Step 2: a nomination application for a skilled position by the employer
Step 3: a visa application by the proposed employee
For a nomination to be approved, the Department must be satisfied that a suitable qualified and experienced Australian worker is not available to fill the nominated position.
For most nominations, advertising must be done within the 4 months immediately before lodging a nomination application. Advertising must meet all of the below (further requirements may apply – please see www.homeaffairs.gov.au for up to date information – the direct link is currently https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/employing-and-sponsoring-someone/sponsoring-workers/nominating-a-position/labour-market-testing as of September 2023):
Kookaburra Veterinary Employment can supply a statement on request with information regarding your job advert, the period that it was listed, and the total cost of advertising.
In September 2020, the Australian Government introduced new labour market testing measures for employer sponsored applications.
In addition to the 2 advertisements mentioned above:
Note: advertising may have been undertaken by a third party if authorised to do so by the sponsor (for example, an associated entity or a contracted party, such as a recruitment agency) – there is no requirement that the sponsor placed the advertisement themselves
Evidence of a total of 3 advertisements, including an advertisement published on the Government’s jobactive website, must be provided at the time the nomination is lodged.
Both the Annual Market Salary Rate (AMSR) for the nominated occupation and the guaranteed annual earnings that will be paid to the nominated overseas worker, excluding any non-monetary benefits (for example, accommodation or car provided to them as part of their salary package), must not be less than the TSMIT (Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold).
TSMIT is currently set as AUD$70,000 for applications lodged on and after 1 July 2023, as specified in the relevant legislative instrument. For applications lodged before 1 July 2023, it was AUD$53,900.
The requirements and process for visa application can be very complicated and there are more conditions than are listed in this article – you can find more information at www.homeaffairs.gov.au
