What is an Employer Sponsored Visa?

An Employer Sponsored Visa enables Australian businesses to nominate skilled workers from overseas to fill roles where local labour is not available. There are temporary and permanent visa pathways, each with its own requirements. Common visas include:
  • Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (short-term / medium-term)
  • Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme (permanent)
  • Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (for regional areas)
  • Other temporary work & training visas as appropriate

We assess your eligibility, advise on the right visa subclass, help with employer sponsorship or nomination, and guide you through every step.
