Australia’s employer sponsored visa programme allows Australian businesses to find required help in a relatively short time. The programme is meant to help businesses who have difficulty hiring local workers because of one or more of the following reasons:
- the required skills and expertise are specialised and in shortage in Australia
- the location of the employment is not attractive for local workers
The most common visa options for employer sponsored visas include the following subclasses:
- 482 Temporary Skills Shortage Visa
- This includes Designated Area Migration Agreements
- 186 Employer Nominated Scheme (Permanent) Visa
- 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa
