Business Sponsorship & Immigration Assessment
Australian businesses looking to sponsor and employ skilled overseas workers can begin the process by completing an initial employer sponsorship assessment. Professional migration guidance can help employers understand the applicable requirements and prepare sponsorship and nomination applications in accordance with Australian migration law and Department of Home Affairs requirements.
Our corporate immigration assessment is designed to help businesses understand potential employer-sponsored pathways based on their business circumstances, industry, proposed position, occupation, location, salary and overseas worker requirements.
Corporate Immigration Solutions Assessment
Navigating the requirements for sponsoring skilled overseas workers in Australia can be complex. If your business is experiencing genuine skill shortages and is considering recruiting international professionals, our Corporate Immigration Solutions Assessment provides a practical starting point for understanding potential employer-sponsored migration pathways.
Based in Melbourne, Victoria, The Visa provides professional migration guidance to Australian businesses seeking to understand sponsorship, nomination and employer-sponsored visa requirements. Our approach is tailored to your business structure, industry, proposed position, occupation, location and workforce requirements.
Assess Your Employer Sponsorship Options
An initial assessment can help determine which employer-sponsored pathway may be relevant to your business, including:
Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) – temporary employer-sponsored migration for eligible skilled workers.
Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) – a permanent employer-sponsored pathway for eligible skilled workers.
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) – a provisional pathway for eligible employers and positions in designated regional Australia.
Labour Agreements – tailored arrangements that may provide access to overseas workers where standard skilled visa programs do not adequately meet an employer's workforce needs.
Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA) – regional labour agreement arrangements that can provide access to specified occupations and, where agreed, certain concessions.
Professional Guidance for Australian Employers
Employer-sponsored migration can involve multiple requirements, including business eligibility, occupation selection, genuine position requirements, salary and employment conditions, Labour Market Testing, nomination requirements and ongoing sponsorship obligations.
Our assessment process helps employers better understand these considerations before proceeding with a sponsorship or nomination application.
For Individual Skilled Workers
If you are an individual skilled worker or prospective visa applicant, rather than an Australian business seeking to sponsor an employee, you should review the visa pathway that best matches your circumstances.
Relevant pathways may include:
Employer Nomination Scheme – Subclass 186
Explore permanent employer-sponsored pathways, including Temporary Residence Transition and Direct Entry.
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional – Subclass 494
Explore regional employer-sponsored opportunities for eligible skilled workers nominated for positions in designated regional Australia.
Skills in Demand – Subclass 482
Explore temporary employer-sponsored opportunities through the applicable Core Skills, Specialist Skills or Labour Agreement stream.
