Migration Agents for Electricians & Plumbers

Critical Shortage Occupations

Electricians and plumbers are among Australia's most in-demand trades. Both appear on the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL), which means faster visa processing and priority state nomination. The construction boom and infrastructure projects across Australia have created a shortage that domestic training cannot fill.

Licensing Requirements

Australia requires state-based licensing for electricians and plumbers. After arriving, you'll need to apply for a licence in your state. Most states have mutual recognition arrangements, so once licensed in one state, you can work in others. Your migration agent can connect you with the relevant licensing body.

Earning Potential

Licensed electricians and plumbers in Australia earn $70,000-$110,000 as employees, with overtime and penalty rates often pushing earnings higher. Self-employed tradespeople can earn $120,000-$180,000+. Regional areas often pay premium rates due to the shortage.
