Does Ken Thompson Lodge sponsor 482 visas?

On the list

Ken Thompson Lodge holds an Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement, which lets it nominate a carer for a 482 visa in New South Wales in home care and residential aged care. Sponsorship means this employer nominates you for a specific full-time position; you cannot apply alone, and the employer pays every visa cost — a fee to you is illegal. The agreement ends on 6 September 2028, under two years away — ask whether it will be renewed before planning a two-year 482 around it.

Ask about permanent residency before you accept

The 482 is the first step. Permanent residency (the 186) needs Ken Thompson Lodge to nominate you again after about two years. The agreement allows it, but each employer decides whether it does. Ask: "Do you nominate carers for the 186 after two years?" The full path to PR
