Question

Is it possible that tourist visa can be converted to working visa in australia when i found employer there?

Answer 1

The second answer is correct. DIMEA take a dim view of people who arrive on tourist visas ans work any more than the provisions for backpackers to do a few casual jobs. Immigration will actually quiz you about your intentions at the airport if they find things like employment agency documents or job applications in your luggage.

The best way to come to Australia to work is on a 457 visa. This allows you to reside and work in the country for up to two years. Your employer is your immigration sponsor and you must have a job ready to start when you arrive. This is a good way to do it because your employer must guarantee to pay all your medical expenses should you become ill or if you are injured while here. You are usually provided some sort of accommodation too, although depending upon your profession and your employer this may not be the best quality. Be careful as there are many Australian employers who seek to exploit 457 workers and do not give them their entitlements.

Perhaps you should look up the CFMEU. They are a union which has done a lot to protect 457 workers from exploitation. They may be able to recommend a good agent

Contact a good immigration agent in your home country. They will be able to tell you more.

Answer 4

It is a basic norm, that once u are in a country & if u find a job, you must leave & apply for work visa from your home country (or country were u are legally residing). Tourist/Visit visas are not normally converted in any other kinds of visas.
