When local talent isn't available to fill job vacancies, Australian employers can hire overseas workers on temporary or permanent visas. The visa options in this category are: 186 / 482 / 484.

Labour agreements serve as a crucial tool for approved businesses facing a demonstrated need for skilled overseas workers, where standard visa programs are insufficient.

The Training Visa (subclass 407) is an excellent option for individuals seeking to enhance their skills through workplace-based training activities in Australia.

The Temporary Work (subclass 400) visa is a short-term visa that allows skilled international workers to come to Australia for highly specialised paid work. This visa is intended for short-term, highly specialised, and non-ongoing work.

Employers that want to sponsor foreign workers need to become approved Standard Business Sponsors (SBS). This approval is valid for five years and enables businesses to nominate candidates for roles that cannot be filled locally.

Unlike a ‘Standard Business Sponsorship’, Overseas Business Sponsorship (OBS) allows businesses operating outside of Australia to sponsor employees to work in Australia under the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) program.

Accredited Sponsorship is a five-year visa sponsorship arrangement that grants access to priority processing for Subclass 482 Visa (TSS Visa) and Nomination applications.

If your business is an approved Accredited Sponsor or Standard Business Sponsor, you have specific sponsorship obligations to comply with. We have the expertise to guide you through these processes.

The Notice of Intention to Take Action (NOITTA) is a formal communication from the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) or the Australian Border Force (ABF) that signals potential non-compliance with sponsorship obligations.
