Labour Agreement Visa: Employer
– Sponsored Pathway to Australia –
What is a Labour Agreement?
A Labour Agreement, also known as an Employment Agreement or Workforce Agreement, is a formal contract between an Australian employer and the government. It enables employers to hire workers under special terms when standard visa options do not meet their needs.
Labour Agreements are particularly valuable for industries experiencing persistent skill shortages, such as agriculture, health care, and hospitality. These agreements allow for customized visa arrangements, including concessions on age, English proficiency, and salary thresholds, ensuring employers can access the talent they need while maintaining fair work standards. By bridging the gap between labor market demands and skilled migration, Labour Agreements play a crucial role in supporting Australia’s economic growth.
