Employment Visa

Work & Live in Australia

Temporary Work Permits

Australian companies may sponsor a number of employees from outside Australia provided they can satisfy the Australian Department of Immigration sponsorship criteria. Businesses that have no formal operating base or representation in Australia may also apply to bring employees to Australia to establish a branch, joint venture & agency in Australia; or to maintain obligations for a contract or other business activities in Australia.

Requirements for Sponsorship

The sponsoring business must prove it is lawfully and actively operating and that it will be the direct employer of the sponsored employee. The business also needs to show it has a good business record, abides by immigration laws, and that it will benefit Australia through the employment of the sponsored employee. The sponsoring company must also prove that the business is committed to advancing skills of Australian employees through new technology or training opportunities.

Your application will have a high chance of success provided (1) The job being offered is legitimate (2) The potential employee has the appropriate skills for the job and (3) The salary is appropriate for the position being offered.
