A guide to sponsorship an overseas applicant for your business.
Employer’s Guide For Foreign Workers Sponsorship under the 482 Visa stream
If you are an Australian employer, who needs to hire foreign workers then this is a quick guide on how sponsorship works in Australia.
Employer requirements for sponsorship.
As an employer, you need to ensure that you have an Australian business and it has been ‘actively operating’ for a minimum of 12 months in Australia. Evidence to demonstrate this include
- Business Activity Statements
- Financial Accounts
- Tax returns, and
- A support letter from your accountant.
- A copy of a lease
- Organisation chart
- If your business is less than 12months, then contracts of work orders.
At Path Migration, our lawyer will review your current financial documents and ensure that the case presented to the Department of Immigration satisfies their particular requirements.
Nomination requirement for the 482 visa
Once the business has achieved sponsorship, then your business needs to meet a certain minimum requirement to be eligible for business nomination. The basic requirements to satisfy to nominate an employee is
- Evidence of labour market testing
- Evidence the salary paid to the employee is inline with market salary
- Evidence that the business has a genuine need for the employee.
