Australia is a welcoming country that attracts a diverse range of people to its shores every year to work, live, study and travel in Australia. It is a land of vibrant Indigenous heritage, beautiful and unique flora and fauna, diversified landscapes, and thriving urban centres. Australia is also a land of opportunity and attracts a diverse range of people from all walks of life, from all over the globe, hoping to access its many world-class education, work and travel opportunities.
Many people who study and work in Australia obtain a permanent visa or become full Australian citizens adding their story to Australia’s rich and diverse multicultural history. As open as Australia is to its friends worldwide, it does have some of the most robust border protection infrastructures globally, and its immigration and visa application systems can be complicated and confusing.
Employer Sponsored Visa enables Australian employers to sponsor highly skilled workers to live and work temporarly or permanently in Australia.
The purpose of the Employer sponsored visa is to address labour shortage in Australia. In the past nearly anybody could be sponsored for a work visa. Today, as a result, many low skilled people migrated to Australia which many of those were very valuable for Australian employers, especially in regional areas.
Now new regulations have been introduced including English skills and new occupation skills have been listed, and new skills expectations had been introduced.
