Employer Sponsored Migration
482 Skills in Demand Visa,186 (ENS) Employer Nominated Scheme, Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme 494 (RSMS))
Fairfields Lawyers have extensive experience in guiding and advising both prospective employers and employees of the employer sponsored migration processes. We have successfully assisted small and large businesses in sponsoring foreign workers much attributed by our thorough understanding of the requirements for the sponsorship and nomination requirements. Our task is to simplify the labyrinth of continually changing legislation and regulations and governing obligations imposed on sponsoring employers and the applicant (sponsored employee).
To date, we have provided solutions to employers and employees in metropolitan and regional Australia.
The employer-sponsored migration schemes can serve to provide an ideal solution to the skill shortages across many industries. Our team of expert advisors will assist potential clients with a personalized and tailor-made approach to achieving the best possible outcomes. The Australian migration regulatory framework provides a wide range of employer sponsored visas under the Temporary Skill Shortage 482 Visa subclass and the main subclass 186 visa which is divided into three streams:
Direct Entry Scheme: This stream is applicable for Skilled workers and/or those workers with sufficient work experience
Temporary Residence Transition stream: This stream is applicable for those workers who have sufficient work experience with a nominated employer for 2 years. This stream is processed under Subclass 482 visa
Labour Agreement stream: This stream is applicable for skilled workers nominated by employers who have a Labour Agreement.
Regional employers also have the option to sponsor employees under subclass 494 visa, provided they meet eligibility criteria. We help businesses navigate the complexities of the age and language exemptions available under this visa, including a pathway to the Designated Regional Migration Agreement (DAMA) program.
