If you are an experienced legal secretary and looking for legal secretarial jobs in Australia, you will need to obtain a visa in order to work here.  The most popular visa used is a Working Holiday Visa.  You can get this before you turn 30 and it entitles you 12 months of employment in which you can work up to 6 months for one employer.  This is the easiest visa to obtain and the most common one if you are looking for legal jobs.

Another visa that you can obtain is a Student Visa. This visa is given to you if you are choosing to study in Australia. This visa can be given to anyone of any age, and entitles the holder to work a maximum of 20 hours a week during the semester, and then full time during the holiday breaks or when the course has finished.  This employment can include any type of employment including reception, administration, legal secretary and more.

Quite often people are able to move onto a 457 visa (sponsorship visa), off the back of their partners sponsorship. This visa can be given to anyone of any age, and permits the holder to work full time and can in fact, look for permanent legal secretarial jobs.

So, if you are searching for legal secretarial jobs in Australia, there are a few options of visas that you can look at. For any more information on visa requirements, please look up the government website.
