Employer Sponsorship Essentials
- Approved Australian Employer

- Labour Market Testing (LMT) Compliance
- Clear Temporary-to-PR Strategy
Employer-Sponsored Visas Australia
Secure an Australian job offer and unlock one of the fastest, most reliable pathways to live and work in Australia, without points tests or long invitation queues.
Employer-sponsored visas allow skilled professionals to be sponsored by approved Australian employers for temporary work, with clear and structured pathways to permanent residency. Whether you’re applying through a short-term, regional, or direct PR stream, employer sponsorship puts your career, not your points, at the centre of your migration journey.
With the right strategy, many applicants transition from sponsored work visas to permanent residency in as little as 2–3 years, while bringing their partner and children with them.
