Beyond the visa

Sponsorship, agreements and compliance — handled

From eligibility assessments and documentation to lodgement and follow-up, our team manages the entire process for you.

a.

Standard Business Sponsorship

We take you through the approved-sponsor process so you can hire overseas talent under the 482 and 494 categories — guiding registration, maintaining records and keeping you compliant year after year.

b.

Company-Specific Labour Agreements

Hiring for roles outside the standard occupation lists? We negotiate Labour Agreements on your behalf, dealing directly with the Department of Home Affairs to meet your unique staffing requirements.

c.

Immigration Compliance Audit

Get ahead of problems before they become penalties. Our audit uncovers gaps, brings record-keeping up to standard and keeps your business aligned with its sponsorship obligations.
