Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great Australia Day and enjoyed a bit of downtime, good weather, and good company.

We’ve got some exciting updates to share from Irish Around Oz.

First up, we’ve expanded our visa partnerships. After years of seeing the same visa questions come up across our communities, I personally reached out to the most recommended, MARA-registered migration professionals and brought them together in one place.

These include

• Skilled migration
• Employer sponsorship
• Partner and family visas
• Permanent residency pathways

This page exists to help people who are unsure which visa suits their situation get matched with the right expert, without trawling through Google searches or picking up incorrect advice from Facebook groups.

If you’re unsure which visa suits your situation, you can fill out a short form and be connected with a trusted professional who has already helped hundreds of people from our groups. I’ll be adding more experts over time as I continue vetting the right partners. You can see my current partners and the community benefits here.

Alongside that, my job board continues to grow, with new roles being added regularly across hospitality, trades, healthcare, construction, and more. You can browse the latest jobs here

This helps keep the groups running, the job board active, and the wider Irish community supported.

And finally, this is just the beginning. We’ve got more partnerships, resources, and features coming very soon, all aimed at making life in Australia a bit easier, clearer, and more connected for Irish people, and yes, some tours and holiday ideas around Sydney are on the way too.

Thanks as always for being part of the community. More exciting things are coming.

Cheers,

Stephen
