You cannot look for a job while on a visitor visa in Australia. A visitor visa is specifically designed for individuals who want to visit Australia for tourism, leisure, or visiting family and friends. It does not grant you permission to work or seek employment in Australia.
If you wish to work in Australia, you will need to apply for the appropriate work visa, such as a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa, or a Working Holiday visa, depending on your qualifications, skills, and the type of work you plan to do. These visas have specific requirements, and you must obtain the necessary visa before you can legally work in Australia.
Attempting to work in Australia on a visitor visa without the appropriate work authorisation is illegal and can lead to serious consequences, including deportation and future visa restrictions. It's essential to understand and comply with Australia's visa and immigration laws to avoid any legal issues. If you're interested in working in Australia, you should consult with the Australian Department of Home Affairs or seek advice from a qualified immigration professional to explore your options and apply for the correct visa.
