After completing a Diploma (must be CRICOS approved), the cook has various options:
- Apply for a Subclass 407 Training Visa
The Subclass 407 Visa is a temporary visa that is granted to Cooks who wish to undergo occupation training, provided they have recent suitable experience and are seeking to undertake structured training to improve their skills as a Cook. This visa is ideal for Cooks who cannot meet the requirements of other employer-sponsored visas, though still wish to gain experience with the employer.
- Apply for an Employer-Sponsored Visa
For cooks seeking to be sponsored by an employer, it is important to note that the employer must meet certain caveats which are: The position cannot be involved in mass production in a factory setting, and the position must not be in a limited-service restaurant; which includes fast food or takeaway food services, fast-casual restaurants, drinking establishments that offer only limited food service, limited service cafes including, but not limited to, coffee shops or mall cafes, and limited-service pizza restaurants.
