Employer sponsored Visa
Australian Migration Law and the Employer Sponsored Scheme
Australian migration legislation supports and endorses the recruitment of international workers possessing skills and competencies that are in significant demand in Australia.
The Employer Sponsored Scheme in Australia encompasses a variety of visas enabling individuals to reside, work, and study in Australia, either temporarily or permanently.
Key Differences Between Employer Sponsored and Skilled Visas
Unlike Skilled visas (189 / 190 / 491), the Employer Sponsored Scheme necessitates mandatory sponsorship from an employer, who must provide the applicant's employment.

Labor Agreement specifics
Eligibility and Requirements
Applicants may need to undergo a skills assessment to demonstrate that their abilities align with Australian standards, including English language proficiency. Simultaneously, sponsoring employers are required to justify to the Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) the necessity of foreign labor over Australian workers. Both employer and employee must receive approval from DOHA.
Inclusion of Family and Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Criteria
Many working visas permit the inclusion of family members, allowing them and the applicant to live, work, and study in Australia, subject to the visa type. Certain visas require a declaration of intent for a temporary stay in Australia – the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) criterion.
