Visa Path
If you're not Australian, your visa decides almost everything else: how long you can stay, which employers can hire you, and for how long. Get it wrong and the flights, tickets and resume all go to waste.
Visa Path is the short, honest version: the handful of visas that actually lead to site work, how to prove your work rights in under a minute, and the visa conditions that quietly kill job offers.
This is a planning playbook, not migration advice. Rules change every July. Check with Home Affairs or a registered migration agent before you pay any fees.
