Working Permit

     Australian Work Visas are for employers who would like to sponsor an overseas employee for a Visa to work in Australia for between 3 months and 4 years (457 working visa).
There are 3 stages to complete for a Work Visa to be granted to an overseas employee:

Sponsorship

     The Australian Employer gets approval as a Business Sponsor. The employer must provide details on their business, benefit of employing an overseas employee, and demonstrate their commitment to training Australian residents etc.

Nomination

     The employer nominates each position that they would like to fill with an overseas employee. The occupation must meet certain skill thresholds and must be remunerated at a specified level.

Working Visa Application

     The prospective employee applies for a Working Visa (Temporary Working Visa) to enter, or to remain in Australia. The Visa Applicant may need to demonstrate that they have the necessary skills to match the nominated position.

     With sponsored employment, the employer has certain obligations and undertakings to abide by. Some of these Working Visa requirements and undertakings are listed below:

• Pay medical expenses incurred at public hospitals
• Return travel costs
• Comply with Australia's Immigration laws
