Question

Can anyone sponsor a scaffolder oin australia?

Answer 1

To sponsor anyone the skill has to be on the SOL( Skills occupation list) or the MODL(Migration occupations in demand list). While scaffolding is a recognized trade it is not on either list so can't be used to apply for a skilled visa.

Check the following and you can see what occupations are in demand:

Answer 2

Look up the Standard Business Sponsorship Visa (Subclass 457).

Commonly known as the "457 Visa".

From what I've read, your trade doesn't have to be on  the skills list; you just need to be qualified for whatever job you're going for.

Contact the Dept. of Immigration and Citizenship for help finding a sponsor.
