Employer Sponsored Visas Australia

Assisting Australian employers to sponsor skilled foreign workers for your business needs

Understanding Standard Business Sponsorship

A Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) grants approval to Australian businesses to sponsor overseas skilled workers to meet skill shortages within their organization. This helps companies address gaps by accessing international talent, fostering business growth.

Role of Labour Agreements in Nominating Positions

Employers nominate roles under approved labour agreements that outline required skills in alignment with industry and market demands. These agreements ensure nominated positions genuinely meet labour market needs and regulatory compliance.

Employer Nomination Visa (Subclass 186)

Subclass 186 visa allows skilled workers nominated by employers in Australia to live and work permanently. Applicants must meet strict eligibility including qualifications, skills, and English proficiency.

Regional Certifying Body Approval (Subclass 494)

This approval confirms that the employer’s nomination meets all government criteria for regional visas such as subclass 494. It’s essential for ensuring regionally targeted skilled migration complies with policy objectives.

Strategic Business Case Development

Businesses must prepare thorough cases demonstrating genuine skills shortage, commitment to training, and full compliance with immigration laws. Effective cases help secure favorable visa sponsorship approvals.

Training Visa Subclass 407 Eligibility

This visa supports workplace-based training programs; eligibility demands approved sponsorship and meeting all health and character checks. It ensures skill development specific to job roles within sponsoring businesses.

Labour Market Testing (LMT) Requirements

LMT requires employers to prove genuine attempts to hire qualified Australian workers before sponsoring foreign employees. This protects local labour markets while enabling necessary skilled migration.

Employer Sponsored Visa Requirements

These visas allow employers to sponsor overseas workers for specialised skills roles or when no appropriately skilled local workers are available. Sponsorship must adhere to legal and employment standards to protect all parties involved.
