Employer nominated / work visas 

The Subclass 407 Training Visa allows individuals to participate in workplace-based occupational training or professional development in Australia. It is designed for those looking to enhance their skills through structured, on-the-job training programs sponsored by an approved Australian organisation. This visa covers three streams — workplace training for registered qualifications, structured professional development, and capacity-building for overseas professionals. It does not lead directly to permanent residency but provides valuable Australian work experience that can strengthen future skilled visa applications.

The Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa enables Australian employers in designated regional areas to sponsor skilled overseas workers for positions they cannot fill locally. This provisional visa grants you the right to live, work, and study in regional Australia for up to five years, with a direct pathway to permanent residency through the Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) Visa after three years. Covering over 650 eligible occupations across the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) stream, the 494 visa is ideal for skilled professionals seeking long-term career opportunities outside Australia's major cities. With no age limit for the permanent residency transition and access to Medicare, this visa offers a secure, family-inclusive migration solution for those committed to building their future in regional Australia.

​The Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) Visa is the direct pathway to Australian permanent residency for skilled workers who have lived and worked in designated regional areas on an eligible provisional visa (Subclass 491 or 494) for at least three years. This visa grants you and your family the right to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia permanently, with full access to Medicare, the ability to sponsor eligible relatives, and a clear route to Australian citizenship. With no employer sponsorship required at this stage and no age limit for applicants transitioning from the 494 visa, the 191 visa rewards your commitment to regional Australia with the security and freedom of permanent residency. For skilled migrants ready to make Australia their forever home, the Subclass 191 is the final, life-changing step in the regional migration journey.

The Subclass 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa enables Australian employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers to fill critical labour shortages when no suitable Australian worker is available. Replacing the former TSS 482 visa, the SID visa streamlines pathways across three targeted tiers — Specialist Skills, Core Skills, and Essential Skills — each tailored to different occupation levels and salary thresholds. This employer-sponsored temporary visa allows you to live and work in Australia for up to four years, with a clear pathway to permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186). Whether you're an employer seeking global talent or a skilled professional looking to build your career in Australia, the SID visa offers a fast, flexible, and occupation-driven migration solution.

The Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa is a permanent residency pathway for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer to fill a full-time, ongoing position. Available through three streams — Direct Entry, Temporary Residence Transition, and Labour Agreement — the ENS visa allows you and your eligible family members to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia with no regional restrictions. Unlike temporary sponsored visas, the 186 grants immediate permanent residency with full access to Medicare, the ability to sponsor relatives, and a direct route to Australian citizenship. For employers seeking long-term workforce stability and skilled professionals ready to make Australia their permanent home, the ENS visa delivers a secure, employer-backed migration solution.
