Hi Sharon

I am a student from Ireland and I want to go to Australia for my placement.

Is it possible to get a visa that allows me to work for the same employer for up to twelve months?

Hi Marie

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that I am not an immigration officer.

If you are interested to come to Australia through a professional development program or to undertake a workplace based training then you have 2 options and both allows you to stay in Australia for more than 12 months:

Professional Development Visa (Subclass 470)
Allows sponsored foreign nationals who are professionals, managers or government officials, to undertake professional development training programs in Australia for periods of up to 18 months.

Occupational Trainee Visa (Subclass 442)
Allows foreign nationals to undertake a supervised, workplace-based training program in Australia. The training should provide additional skills in their occupation or field of expertise.

More information about the above visas and their requirements can be found in here
