This is not a new relationship with the permit system: Glenferry Coaches Limited goes back to 2023 in the figures, 102 permits later, with its biggest year 2026 at 50. Year to year the figure has stayed within a narrow band, which is the mark of a planned intake rather than a reaction to a shortage.

Volume means process
Permit counts like these are only possible with a repeatable process: advertising, applications, visas, arrivals. Glenferry Coaches Limited has one. For a candidate that is reassuring; for a competitor it is the benchmark.

Lead with the trade
Put the skill and the years in the first line, not the visa. Glenferry Coaches Limited has handled permits before; what it needs to know first is whether you can do the job.

For candidates
What you need to work here
- A job offer and a contract of employment signed by you and the employer before anything is submitted. Applications must reach the Department at least 12 weeks before the start date.
- The right permit for the job. Most trades and driving roles go through a General Employment Permit, which is issued for 2 years and can be renewed. Roles on the Critical Skills list use a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
- Pay at or above the minimum for the permit. For a General Employment Permit the Department currently lists it as generally EUR 36,605 a year, with lower figures for meat processing, horticulture, healthcare assistants and home support. Check the official figure for your role before you rely on it.
