Study Plumbing
Plumbers are among the highest paid trades workers in Australia and there is a demand by employers in Australia for qualified plumbers.
Study Plumbing
Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)
The high salary and strong employment growth means there are a lot of good reasons to study plumbing.
The majority of plumbing work is carried out on new domestic, commercial and retail constructions. So the majority of plumbers do not work unblocking drains. Over the five years to November 2019, the number of job openings for plumbers is expected to be above average.

Education Pathways
Options for a Temporary Graduate Visa
If undertaking study in Australia for a minimum of 2 years you may qualify for the Temporary Skilled Graduate Visa. This visa allows the holder 1.5 years unlimited work rights in Australia. Many graduates use this time to build up experience in their field or find an employer that is willing to sponsor their visa.
If you have applied for the Temporary Graduate Visa you may also be eligible to apply for the Job Ready Program. The Job Ready Program is run through TRA and allows graduates in certain disciplines to have their skills assessed for skilled migration purposes. It is a way for people to have their skills assessed without having the experience. Once the student receives a positive skills assessment they may be eligible to apply for permanent work visas such as State Sponsored and General Skilled Migration Visas.

I would like to know about public university and government aided college that offer diploma in plumbering in Perth.Kindly provide the fee and course duration detail as well.
Hi Kanwar,
So the Aus government doesn’t provide funding for international students to study a course. You Potentially could try for some sort of scholarship, but your best bet may be government funding from your home country

Hello Nick,
I have the same questions than Mustafa. If I take the plumbing course is there a possibility that I can stay in Australia with a working visa or perhaps to apply for a permanent residence?

Thank you very much,

i am 38 yrs 9 month old want to enroll for any trade specialization course like brick layer, Electrician, Plumber etc. in Australia, ultimate goal is to settle in Australia with family.
Able to meet financial requirement.
2 options :
1. Study with Family (kids in Australian School+ wife at home (guardian) = Funds ??
2. Study without Family after completion of course apply for PR subclass 190 and sett Australia = Course + Time Required + Funds ??
Hi Parshant,
Nice to hear from you. You would generally need to provide evidence finances. = Living costs + tuition fees (yourself and children) + travel
This would be huge for a family. I believe it would be roughly $35,009 + tuition fees + $8000 = $43,000 + tuition fees. So anytime you study in Aus with a family it is very expensive.

PTA TEAM

Hey Stanley,

Hi Mohamed,
I shall send through two emails to you, the first includes the requirements for the schools and the visa, and the second has details on Plumbing.
Is the job ready program offered for this plumbing course graduates because you didn’t mention it on the you have mentioned other trades for this program but not plumbing? Also will i got the certificat iv after i graduate or after i finish the jrp and from your experience is it easy to find a job without holding the apprenticeship and why aisi is thhe only institute that offer this course for international students in australia ? Finally would it be hard to get the student visa approved from the australian embassy here in egypt as they gonna find that someone with a dental degree is applying for a trade study is odd and suspicious as an act of immigration purpose ? Thanks
