Are you struggling to find a suitable candidate from the Australian labour market? Regional Migration Australia can help your business become a Standard Business Sponsor, so you can employ international staff under the following subclasses; Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494).
We can also help your business to fill permanent sponsored roles via the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (subclass 186). There are also a range of options available under the Labour Agreement program.

Additional Information
What is a Standard Business Sponsor?
An employer must become a Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) to be able to sponsor an overseas skilled worker. The sponsorship is a 5 year agreement and the job vacancy must be on the consolidated skilled occupation list.
What is a Labour Agreement?
Labour Agreements are formal contracts negotiated between Australian employers and the Australian Government to sponsor international workers (outside the SBS program). A negotiated agreement allows overseas workers to be sponsored for a skilled visa enabling them to work in Australia for a specified period of time, in an approved occupation. Labour agreements are generally in effect for five years.
What is a DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement)?
A DAMA is a formal agreement between the Australian Government and a regional, state or territory authority. It provides access to more overseas workers than the standard skilled migration program. DAMAs operate under an agreement-based framework, providing flexibility for regions to respond to their unique economic and labour market conditions.
