Build your career in Australia with the right sponsorship pathway

The right role, sponsored the right way
Skilled workers are in real demand across Australia, and employer sponsorship is one of the clearest ways to get there. If your profession is on the list and your experience stacks up, a sponsoring employer can be the start of your Australian journey, all the way to permanent residence.
We work with both employers and workers
Sponsorship connects a business and a skilled worker. We support each side of that relationship, and often both at once on the same case.

We guide your business through becoming an approved sponsor and lodging nominations, and help you understand the obligations that come with it.

How the application works, step by step
Whether your business is eligible to sponsor: that it is lawfully and actively operating and can meet the requirements to become, or remain, an approved sponsor.
Whether the position is genuine and ongoing, sits within an eligible occupation, and meets the salary requirements, including the market salary rate. Where labour market testing applies, we prepare for it.
We match the worker's occupation, qualifications and work history to the role, and confirm what the visa needs: a skills assessment where required, along with English, health and character evidence.
We prepare and lodge the sponsorship, nomination and visa application together in ImmiAccount, so the business and worker sides move as one.
We confirm lodgement, track the case and handle any request the Department sends, so nothing is missed.
We pass on the decision as soon as it is made. Depending on the visa, the worker may be in or outside Australia when the application is decided.
What sponsoring involves
Your business is assessed and approved before it can sponsor.
Each role is nominated as a genuine, ongoing position.
Sponsors take on obligations they must meet throughout.
We help you stay compliant at each stage.
Becoming a sponsor carries legal responsibilities. Approval depends on your business meeting the Department's requirements, which we assess for your situation.
You may be a good fit for employer sponsorship if…
You have an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you, or you are actively seeking one.
Your occupation and skills align with a genuine, ongoing position.
You have relevant qualifications or work experience for the role.
You can meet English language, health and character requirements.
Meeting these points does not guarantee a visa grant. Eligibility depends on your full circumstances and the current requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs. We assess your individual case before providing advice.
