Specialist childcare campaign: exact role, qualification and region must be confirmed before any pathway advice.
Stabilise the roster. Unlock capacity.
Educator vacancies limiting your enrolment capacity?
We help regional childcare providers assess whether a current DAMA or employer-sponsored pathway can support the recruitment or retention of suitably qualified educators, room leaders, early childhood teachers or centre managers — and simplify the workforce process that sits around it.
Role-specific and employer-led. A childcare qualification alone does not create visa eligibility. No outcome is guaranteed.
SERVICE FIRST
Provider, physical worksite and genuine workforce need
ROLE FIRST
Duties, classification and qualification checked against current criteria
ROLE REGION FIRST
Current DAMA, assessment and regulatory settings for that location
For childcare services with a genuine, ongoing workforce and capacity problem
BUILT FOR REGIONAL PROVIDERS
This is not a general childcare visa page. It is designed for established regional services that already have (or are actively creating) full-time roles, can evidence recruitment effort, and have a decision-maker ready to examine the real role, salary, qualification and worksite.
Educators & room leaders
Long day care services facing ongoing educator or group-leader shortages.
Child Care Worker
Group Leader
Teachers & managers
Services needing early childhood teachers or genuine centre managers.
ECT
Centre Manager
Multi-site & OSHC
Regional providers with several services, school-age care sites, or a 12-month workforce plan.
OSHC
Multi-worker plan
TWO ENTRY POINTS, ONE STANDARD
Provider strategy first. Worker co-leads only when a genuine employer discussion already exists.
For childcare employers
Confirm the employing entity, approved service and regional worksite
Map real duties to the correct occupation
Check qualification, equivalence and skills-assessment position
Review salary, classification, roster and recruitment evidence
Plan for one critical role or a multi-centre workforce program
For childcare professionals
Use this pathway only if you already have a genuine regional employer or an active employer discussion.
Confirm the exact role and duties (Worker, Group Leader, ECT, OSHC or Manager)
Review approved qualification and ACECQA evidence
Map skills assessment and any registration/WWCC requirements
Verify the employer and physical service
No job-finding promise and no assumption about current visa status
CLEAR PROCESS
Four steps to a clear recommendation
Provider & region
Employing entity, approved service, postcode, operating history and the correct regional agreement.
Role & need
Duties, occupation, full-time requirement, salary/classification, roster and recruitment evidence.
Worker readiness
Approved qualification or equivalence, skills assessment, relevant experience, registration and checks.
Strategy & scope
Defensible next step, required documents, timing, ownership and the appropriate service package.
PRACTICAL OUTPUT
What you leave the review with
A clear picture of whether a sponsorship or DAMA pathway is currently viable for the specific role and location
Identification of the main evidence gaps (if any)
A recommended sequence of next actions for the employer (and worker, where relevant)
Transparent indication of what Think Visa can and cannot assist with
No guarantee of visa grant. No upgrade of job titles to fit an occupation list.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Answers before you book
-
No. It is necessary supporting evidence only. Occupation, duties, employer, region, assessment, salary, recruitment and current visa criteria must also align.
-
Only if the real duties, responsibility level and evidence support that role. Think Visa will not upgrade a title to fit an occupation list.
-
They are separate employment or regulatory requirements. The review maps them for practical readiness but does not treat them as proof of visa eligibility.
-
This campaign provides migration strategy and application services. Recruitment support is available only through an authorised arrangement and is separate from the visa process.
