The Fair Work Ombudsman sets the minimum rate for a qualified welder at AU$29.75 per hour under the Manufacturing and Associated Industries and Occupations Award as of 1 July 2026. Casual welders receive a 25% loading on top of this base rate. Ordinary hours are capped at 38 per week with overtime paid at 1.5 times the rate after that threshold.
Which visa allows overseas welders to work in Australia in 2026 and what is the application fee?

The visa application fee is AU$1,455 for the main applicant as of 2026. Applicants must demonstrate at least three years of relevant experience and achieve a minimum IELTS score of 5.0.
What qualification and experience level is required to work as a welder in Australia?
The Fair Work Ombudsman states that welders must hold a Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade or equivalent plus at least two years post-qualification experience to meet award classification level C10.
