Employer Sponsored Visa
Employer Sponsored Visa Australia
Australia’s dynamic and growing economy is always in need of skilled workers to fill various positions across multiple industries. When local talent isn’t sufficient to meet the demand, Employer Sponsored Visas provide a pathway for Australian businesses to hire skilled employees from overseas to fill critical skill shortages. These visas help foster Australia’s workforce while providing skilled workers with opportunities to live and work in Australia.
What is an Employer Sponsored Visa?
An Employer Sponsored Visa allows eligible Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers from overseas for specific positions. These visas are available in both temporary and permanent streams.
Key Condition: Employers can only sponsor overseas workers if they cannot find suitable candidates within the Australian labor market for the position they are offering.
Types of Employer Sponsored Visas
Several visa subclasses fall under the Employer Sponsored Visa category. These include:
Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186)
The Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa allows skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer to live and work in Australia permanently. This visa provides a pathway to permanent residency for those with the skills and experience in demand.
- Grants skilled workers the opportunity to live and work in Australia permanently.
- Available to individuals nominated by an Australian employer.
- Includes the Direct Entry, Temporary Residence Transition, and Labour Agreement streams.
- Visa holders can access Medicare, Australia's public healthcare system, and may sponsor relatives for residency.
- Applicants can live and work anywhere in Australia.
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187)
The Subclass 187 Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) visa allows skilled workers nominated by an employer in regional Australia to live and work in the country permanently. It is designed to support regional employers in addressing local skill shortages.
