Obtaining a sponsored visa Brisbane located employee is essential for them to legally work and live in the city if they’re interested in pursuing a career in Australia. We often talk about a sponsored visa in Brisbane details for a person coming to Australia – but today we’re going to shift gears and look at the Australian business sponsoring a person’s visa application.

In this article, the sponsor is the Australian business or company employing a person from overseas.  The worker is the person applying for the visa who plans to work in Australia.

While it is possible for someone to move to Australia for work without the endorsement of a business, a sponsorship from their employer can make things easier.  There are conditions and obligations on either side of the relationship.

In order to sponsor a worker, the sponsor business must:

• Be an Australian business that has begun operating.
• Consent to complete the responsibilities of sponsoring a worker under a visa.
• Agree to pay the associated costs.

The job in question must also be on the Skilled Occupation List and attempts to fill it with an appropriately qualified and experienced Australian citizen or permanent resident have been unsuccessful.
