Employer Sponsored Visa
Employer Sponsored Visa
This visa allows highly skilled workers nominated by their employer to live and work permanently in Australia. Through employer sponsorship programs, Australian companies are able to sponsor skilled workers overseas to fill a gap Australians cannot fill locally. There are a number of temporary and permanent visas that allow you to work and live in Australia.
Temporary Skill Shortage Visas

Upon completion of a temporary skills shortage (subclass 482) visa in Australia for three years, workers and their families will be eligible for transfer to permanent residence.
