Employer Sponsored Visas

Temporary and permanent pathways for Australian businesses seeking to sponsor skilled overseas professionals where a genuine workforce need exists.

Employer Sponsored Visa Options

Employer-sponsored visas allow Australian businesses to sponsor skilled overseas professionals where there is a genuine need for the role and the occupation meets eligibility requirements.

These pathways may lead to temporary or permanent residence, depending on the visa subclass and individual circumstances.

Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482)

The Skills in Demand (SID) visa allows approved employers to sponsor skilled workers in eligible occupations where suitable local workers cannot be sourced.


The visa operates under different streams depending on salary level and occupation classification.

Key Features Include:
The 494 visa allows regional employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions located in designated regional areas of Australia.
Key Requirements:

Both the business role and the nominee’s eligibility should be properly assessed before proceeding.

Before sponsoring under the Subclass 482 or Subclass 494 visa, businesses must generally be approved as a Standard Business Sponsor.
This involves demonstrating lawful operation, a genuine need for the role and the capacity to meet sponsorship obligations.

Key considerations include:

The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) provides permanent residence for eligible skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer.

These pathways are fact-specific and require careful preparation to ensure eligibility is met before lodgement.

There are three primary streams:

Eligibility depends on occupation, skills, employment history and employer nomination requirements.
