Relocating to Australia as a Designer

Hi there,

I’m a 24 year old Creative Designer, from the Uk. With just over 2 years experience in a Design and Advertising agency, I would love to relocate to Australia next year - and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to gain sponsorship within Graphic Designer?

From my research, it seems slightly tricky. Perhaps the best route, simply being gaining a Tourist Working Visa for a year and trying to get contract work with an agency, then asking for sponsorship in the future. With Design not being classed as a Skilled job, it makes the situation a lot harder.

Any help or advice would be so appreciated.

Cheers

RJ
