Why hospitality roles can get sponsorship in 2026

Australia continues to face shortages in:

• Commercial kitchens (cooks/chefs)

• Hotels, resorts, and tourism venues

• Regional hospitality operations

• Cleaning/housekeeping and guest services

Employers in remote/regional areas are often more open to sponsoring because hiring locally is harder.

✅ Top 3 Hospitality Companies to Watch in 2026

1) ISS Facility Services

Type: Facilities management (cleaning, catering, hospitality services, operations)
Why it’s relevant: ISS supports large sites and contracts (including catering/cleaning), and often hires across multiple regions and roles.

Roles to search for:

• Catering Assistant / Kitchen Hand
• Chef / Cook (site-based)
• Housekeeping / Cleaning (hotel or site contracts)
• Hospitality Attendant / Team Leader

---

2) Jose Hospitality Pty Ltd

Type: Hospitality group (restaurants/venues)
Why it’s relevant: Hospitality groups can sponsor for hard-to-fill skilled roles, especially kitchens.

Roles to search for:

• Cook
• Venue Manager / Restaurant Manager
• Bar Supervisor (sometimes)

Best approach:
Target roles that are more commonly sponsorable (kitchen + management), and apply with an Australian-format resume.

3) The Kimberley Grande Resort

Type: Resort / regional tourism hospitality
Why it’s relevant: Regional resorts often face ongoing staffing gaps and can be more open to sponsored workers.

Roles to search for:

• Chef / Cook
• Front Office Receptionist
• Food & Beverage Attendant / Supervisor
• Housekeeping Supervisor / Housekeeper

Pro tip:
Regional/remote flexibility is one of the biggest sponsorship advantages in hospitality.
