The Employer Sponsored Visa

Labour shortages are common and can affect businesses in many industries. You may find your business needs staff but there may not be local workers available to take on these roles or they don’t have the specialised skills required to fill a position. Sponsoring an overseas worker may be a solution to help overcome your labour shortage.

Employer sponsored visas enable Australian businesses to employ suitable overseas workers to fill positions within their business when they can’t find suitably qualified Australian workers.
