Does Southern Cross Care (NSW & ACT) sponsor 482 visas?
Southern Cross Care (NSW & ACT) 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 runs to 9 September 2029, which covers the two years a 482 needs before the employer can nominate for permanent residency.
Ask about permanent residency before you accept
The 482 is the first step. Permanent residency (the 186) needs Southern Cross Care (NSW & ACT) 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
