TEMPORARY BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP

Australian or overseas employers regularly use the 457 temporary (long stay) work visa to sponsor employees to work in Australia. To sponsor employees, the business must apply for standard business sponsorship approval and once approved can then nominate employees to work in their business. Sponsorship approval is for 3 years in most cases but may be less, for example if you your business has traded for less than 12 months. This visa also allows you to bring your family to work or study in Australia and travel in and out of the country while still working for your sponsoring employer.

CRITERIA

Sponsorship – To be approved, your business must establish, among other things, that:

The Business is lawfully operating in (or out of) Australia
The Business is financially viable and can meet its sponsorship obligations
The business satisfies the training benchmarks, or if trading less than 12 months, has an auditable plan to meet the training benchmarks.

CONDITIONS

The 457 visa will have condition 8107 work restriction attached to it which restricts you to working only for your sponsoring employer in the nominated position. To change occupations or employers a new nomination must be lodged and approved before you can lawfully change employment. Current DIBP policy gives 90 days grace to find a new sponsor after ceasing employment.

Employers often apply for sponsorship approval but are refused as they may not understand how to structure the application correctly or applicable law and DIBP policy. Also once approved, employers face a number of Sponsorship obligations which if breached can lead to cancellation of your sponsorship or imposition of fines or other sanctions.

Refusal of sponsorship approval or the 457 visa will have a serious impact on your business operations and profitability but this can be avoided. Let Turner Coulson guide you through the approval process using our years of experience working with Australian sponsors of overseas workers to ensure your application is successful in the shortest time frame possible.
