Employer-Sponsored Visa Options
Temporary Employer-Sponsored Visa
Temporary employer-sponsored visas allow Australian businesses to hire skilled overseas workers when qualified local workers are unavailable.
The Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482) is currently the main temporary employer-sponsored visa. It enables skilled professionals to work for an approved employer and may provide a pathway to permanent residency if eligibility requirements are met.
Some employers may also recruit overseas workers through Labour Agreements, which allow businesses to fill skill shortages under approved arrangements with the Australian Government.
The Training Visa (Subclass 407) is available for applicants who wish to improve their skills through workplace-based occupational training in Australia.
Permanent Employer-Sponsored Visa
Permanent employer-sponsored visas allow skilled workers to live and work in Australia permanently.
The Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) enables eligible Australian employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers for permanent residence.
The Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa (Subclass 494) allows employers in designated regional areas to sponsor skilled workers. Eligible visa holders may later become permanent residents through available permanent residency pathways.
