How It Works
Employer sponsorship is a multi-stage process — we make it clear, structured and compliant, handling every step so you can keep running your business.
A clear, compliant path
We turn a complex, high-stakes process into five managed stages — led by Fiona Carre, Registered Migration Agent – MARN 0638808.
Assess Your Sponsorship OptionsThe Employer Journey
We guide your business through every stage of employer sponsorship — each step prepared, lodged and tracked by a Registered Migration Agent.
We review the roles you need to fill, assess occupation eligibility and recommend the most effective sponsorship pathway for your business.
We prepare and lodge your Standard Business Sponsorship (or negotiate a Labour Agreement / DAMA), establishing your business as an approved sponsor.
We manage labour market testing, salary benchmarking and the nomination of each position — ensuring every requirement is met.
We prepare and lodge the visa application for your worker (and their family), managing the department through to a decision.
We help you understand and manage your sponsorship obligations, and plan ahead for key workers to transition to permanent residence. May provide a pathway to permanent residence, subject to the employer and visa holder meeting the applicable requirements at that time.
After You Enquire
Getting started is simple. Here’s exactly what to expect from your first enquiry.
A free initial enquiry allows us to determine whether we offer the relevant service and identify the appropriate next step. It does not include tailored migration advice, detailed eligibility assessment or a recommended migration strategy.
Specifically for employers considering sponsoring an existing worker or recruiting an overseas candidate, including a recommended process, anticipated stages and indicative costs.
If you choose to proceed, we guide and manage the sponsorship, nomination and visa from start to finish.
