Employer Sponsored Visa Program – A Pathway to Work and Live in Australia

The Employer Sponsored Visa program is a key pathway that allows Australian employers to address labour shortages by sponsoring skilled overseas workers. This program includes both temporary and permanent residency options, depending on the visa subclass and the circumstances of employment.

General Requirements for Employer Sponsored Visas
While individual subclasses have specific criteria, the following are common eligibility requirements for most employer-sponsored visas:

Job Offer from an Australian Employer
You must have a valid job offer in a skilled occupation from an Australian employer who is an approved sponsor. The position must be genuine and full-time.

Nominated Occupation
Your nominated occupation must be on the relevant list of eligible skilled occupations (such as the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List - MLTSSL or the Short-term Skilled Occupation List - STSOL), depending on the visa subclass.

Skills and Qualifications
You must possess the necessary qualifications and relevant work experience for the nominated role. In many cases, a formal skills assessment by a recognised authority may be required to confirm that your skills match Australian standards.

English Language Proficiency
You must demonstrate competent English language ability through an approved English test (e.g., IELTS, PTE Academic, TOEFL iBT), unless you are exempt due to passport nationality or prior education in English.

Employer Nomination and Sponsorship
The sponsoring employer must be an approved business sponsor and must nominate you for a position that meets salary, labour market, and occupation criteria. The employer must also demonstrate genuine need and adherence to Australian workplace laws.

Health and Character Requirements
You and any dependents must undergo medical examinations and obtain police clearance certificates to meet Australia’s health and character standards.

Work Experience
For many employer-sponsored visa options, a minimum of 2 years of relevant work experience is required in the nominated occupation.
