SPONSORING WORKERS

Despite recent major work visa changes, sponsored visas such as the 186 visa and the regional 187 visa still provide excellent pathways to PR even though the 457 visa has been dropped. Overseas workers can still be sponsored for shorter term temporary visas or for permanent visas. Short-term work visas would generally be for two years or less, while permanent visas allow the holder to live and work in Australia permanently.

Some permanent work visas such as the 189 visa do not require sponsorship. Others such as the 186 visa, the 187 regional visa and the temporary 482 visa  require employer sponsorship.  Other permanent visas are sponsored State or Territory governments.

EMPLOYER REQUIREMENTS FOR SPONSORSHIP

Essential criteria for businesses to be able to sponsor migrant workers for visas such as the 186 visa include:

  • Hold an ABN (or equivalent)
  • The business to be actively and lawfully operating
  • Demonstrate a genuine need to hire an overseas worker(s)
  • The role to be filled is a skilled occupation
  • Demonstrate that valid efforts have been made to recruit a citizen or permanent resident (such as proof of advertising)
  • The employment terms and conditions are at least the equivalent of those offered an Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • Have a business track record with no significant black marks.

EMPLOYING 186 VISA WORKERS

Employers often can’t find local workers with the skills they need, so the 186 visa and other work visas allow them to recruit suitable overseas workers. That’s why the Australian and New Zealand immigration policies recognise the importance of employers being able to sponsor workers from overseas to provide essential skills for their businesses. Consequently, there are various visa options for tradespersons, professionals and diverse specialists to come and work in Australia and New Zealand.

WHAT WORKERS CAN BE SPONSORED?

To be eligible for sponsorship, overseas workers need to have a “skill” as defined by the Australia and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). Sometimes a worker’s skills have to be assessed by an Australian assessment body and we can act for the worker in this. The nominated worker also needs to satisfy other criteria such as English language, age, and public interest tests such as health and character.
