Cardiac Technician — Subclass 482 Pathway

Cardiac Technician × Subclass 482 — pathway overview

Cardiac Technician (ANZSCO 311212) qualifies for the Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa, giving Australian healthcare employers the ability to sponsor skilled cardiac technicians on a temporary basis without a points test requirement. Applicants must receive a formal employment offer from an approved employer sponsor operating in an eligible healthcare facility. A skills assessment is required to confirm qualifications and clinical competence in cardiac monitoring, ECG testing, and cardiac diagnostic support. English language proficiency must be demonstrated via an approved test. The Subclass 482 visa is typically granted for two to four years and does not provide permanent residency directly. Visa holders who complete three years of qualifying employment may transition to permanent residency through the Subclass 186 visa. Health and character requirements are mandatory for all applicants and accompanying family members. Employer obligations include meeting salary requirements equivalent to Australian workers in comparable positions. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
