Employer sponsorship provides Australian businesses with the opportunity to employ skilled overseas workers where suitably qualified Australian workers cannot be found. For many overseas workers, employer sponsorship offers an excellent pathway to employment in Australia and, in many cases, permanent residence.
Employer-sponsored visas involve responsibilities for both the employer and the employee. Businesses must satisfy sponsorship and nomination requirements, while visa applicants must meet occupation, skills, English language and health requirements. Selecting the correct visa pathway is essential to achieving the best outcome.
Oz Migration Action provides advice to both employers and sponsored workers throughout every stage of the sponsorship process. We assist businesses with sponsorship applications, nominations, labour market requirements where applicable and ongoing sponsorship obligations. We also assist overseas workers in understanding visa conditions, preparing visa applications and planning future permanent residence pathways.
Our approach is practical, efficient and tailored to the needs of both employers and employees. We work closely with our clients to minimise delays, identify potential issues before they arise and ensure applications are professionally prepared to maximise the prospects of success.
