One of the most popular visas to apply for PR (Permanent Residency) in Australia is GSM (General Skill Migration). These visas (SC 189, 190 and 491) do not require any employer to sponsor you, which can be a very attractive option for many people.
The most straightforward pathway to becoming a Chef in Australia is studying a VET course in Australia, Certificate III and IV in Commercial Cookery + Diploma (or Advanced Diploma) in Hospitality Management. This is (usually), a two years course. The cost can vary depending on the college, but prices are usually between $AUD 19,000 to $AUD 36.000.
If you would like to study cookery and become a chef, please contact us for more information. We can help you to find the right school in any city in Australia. You can email us your resume at marketing@pacemigration.com.au for an initial assessment, or you can have a free consultation with our education consultants. Consultations can be in English, Tagalog or Spanish.
Below we explain the steps you need to follow to become a chef and gain Permanent Residency in Australia:
STEP 1: Get your qualifications in Australia (at least 2 years course)
STEP 2: After completing your qualifications your next step is to apply for Temporary Graduate Visa (SC485). This is an 18-months work visa, which will give you full-time work rights in Australia. As a temporary measure, you can get now a 2-years work visa instead of 18 months.
During this time, you need to do your FULL skills assessments (TRA). You need to work as a Chef full-time for approximately one year.
So far, to apply for SC 189, 190 or 491 you will need to reach at least 65 points to send an expression of interest. However, generally, you’ll need at least +80 points to receive an invitation from immigration.
STEP 3: while working as a chef, try to push up your English score, at least IELTS 7-7-7-7 or PTE 65-65-65-65 to claim 10 points. Getting an 8 in all bands would be even a better scenario and will allow you to claim 20 points (PTE 79 in all bands).
REMEMBER: If your English is below this score you might target another visa subclass. Can be hard to reach the desired points if your English is around IELTS 6 (all bands)
STEP 4: Apply for EOI (Expression of Interest) and wait until receiving the invitation from the government.
STEP 5: If you are targeting SC 190 or 491 apply for “State Sponsor”. In case you are eligible for SC 189, please skip this step.
STEP 6: Apply for PR!!!! … and wait 🙂
If you want to have a full consultation and build a pathway that leads to Permanent Residency, book an appointment with our migration agent, who has 15 years of experience. We will spend as long as necessary in finding a pathway that is suitable to your skills and background. Please note that our consultation fee is $165:

Hi team,
I am currently on my 485 visa but i am staying Vietnam now. I got my 485 visa granted in March 2020 but that was in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak in Melbourne. I could not find a job and went back to Vietnam in Sep 2020 and been here since. Now I really want to study Pastry Chef and find a pathway to get PR in Australia. I wanted to go to Adelaide for study and live. It would be great if you can help me with my case. Thank you very much.
Best regards,

I am studying bachelor of culinary management, and working as a chef in an age care facility. I’m gonna finish my studies soon within one month, now I am working in Sydney.
Can I complete my skilled assessment while working in the age care as a chef.
So am I eligible to apply pr from Sydney or is it better to move to a regional area?
Hi Mate,
Is work experience for chef counted after getting the course completion certificate or only after full skill assessment ?
Hi Ashish, thank you for reaching us! If you are a cook then it is only after Certificate III. For chefs it is after the Diploma. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us at marketing@pacemigration.com.au
I am working as a cook now. I am doing Cet III and will continue till advanced diploma.
My question is: after my graduate visa, is it important to complete “1700” hours of work as a full time/part-time chef/cook in order to get my PR?.
Or can I get the invitation before completing those hours?.
