Cook skilled visas – COOK – ANZSCO 351411 – skilled independent visa subclass 189, 190 & 491
When I was studying to be a lawyer, I worked as a cook to pay the bills. I did my commercial cook training and worked with some of Australia’s and the worlds best chefs – it was hard work: long hours and pressure, but as much as I loved it I am a much MUCH better lawyer. So I know that the last thing visa applicants want to do is fill out forms and deal with the stress of getting a visa.
And that, chef, is were I can help!

- Program B Migration Skills Assessment
- You must have a qualification directly related to your nominated occupation (i.e. Culinary Training) or at least 3 years of relevant experience
