Work in Australia: Sponsored Work Visas

Work Visas

The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) was developed for Australian employers to recruit permanent, highly-skilled staff from overseas or from people temporarily in Australia, when the employers have been unable to fill a vacancy from within the Australian labour market or through their own training programs.

The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) is designed to help employers in regional or low population growth areas of Australia, who are unable to fill skilled vacancies from the Australian labour market.

Labour Agreement enable Australian employers to recruit (either permanently or temporarily) a specified number of workers from overseas in response to identified or emerging labour market (or skill) shortages in the Australian labour market.

The Invest Australia Supported Skills program aims to encourage international firms to choose Australia as a location for foreign direct investment. This sponsored program allows companies to bring managerial and specialist employees into Australia on work visas for the sole purpose of establishing their operations in Australia.

The Skilled Temporary Business (Long Stay) - 457 Visa is the most commonly used program for employers to sponsor overseas workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. There are also special arrangements for employers in regional areas across Australia.

If a candidate's application is successful, they will be granted temporary residence in Australia, and have multiple entry to and from Australia for the duration of your visa, without any restrictions.
