Employer Information

Australian businesses unable to fill positions can recruit overseas skilled workers either on a temporary and/or permanent basis.

Overseas skilled workers are highly motivated and dedicated, and their employment can increase job opportunities for Australians.

The temporary visa is initially much more beneficial to a business because:

a visa can be requested for a period of four (4) years
applications are lodged in Australia, with minimal application fees
processing times are often reduced
many occupations do not require formal assessment of skills
upon arrival in Australia, the opportunity to further assess the capabilities of the overseas skilled worker and therefore the business can progress the skilled worker to permanent migration

Moreover, employer sponsored permanent migration have distinct advantages:

in regional Australia a guaranteed worker for at least two (2) years
visa may be cancelled if the worker does not want to complete the two (2) years
no constraints regarding employer recruitment costs
eligible occupations include Manager, Professionals, Technicians and Trade Workers (i.e. skill level commensurate with Australian Qualifications Framework Certificate III or higher)
