1. Preparation and Lodgment Service – Standard Business Sponsorship
Are you struggling to find suitably qualified staff for your business? Have you ever thought about sponsoring an overseas worker to fill a skills gap in your organisation?
Employer sponsorship can be a great way to meet your staff needs through International Recruitment, if you cannot source appropriately skilled employees from the local labour market.
Employer sponsored visas can also be a pathway to permanent residency in Australia in certain instances.
When you become a Standard Business Sponsor you can:
- Sponsor someone to work for you on a Skills in Demand visa (Subclass 482) and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494).
Who is eligible:
To become a standard business sponsor, your business must be legally established and currently operating.
- Your business can be inside or outside of Australia.
- The Australian Government Department of Home Affairs must not be aware of any adverse information about you or anyone associated with you that affects your suitability as a sponsor.
Additional requirements for businesses in Australia:-
- You should have a strong record of, or a demonstrated commitment to, employing local labour.
- You must declare that you will not engage in discriminatory recruitment practices.
Home Affairs Application Fee:
The current Standard Business Sponsor application fee is $420. A payment surcharge may also be applied, with the percentage rate dependent on your method of payment.
How long does a Standard Business Sponsorship last:
The standard business sponsorship is valid for five years from the date it is approved.
