Foreign workers can assist a business in alleviating the skill shortage currently being experience in Australia.  There are various employer sponsorship options available to a business in meeting both short and long term needs.

HQ Migration Solutions specialises in providing advice to employers by developing suitable migration strategies based on the corporate profile.  We explore sponsorship options and provide direction on establishing a migration program to meet the company’s business needs within budgetary constraints that complies with Australian law and regulations.

There are different levels of employer sponsorship including temporary and permanent.

Temporary
There are a number of temporary visa options available to an employer that enables sponsorship of a foreign worker, with the most commonly used visa type allowing sponsorship for periods from three months and up to four years.   This visa provides the employer with the flexibility to hire the necessary skills for the duration of the project or for an extended period.

Permanent
There are also permanent visa options available to employers that enable them to sponsor a foreign worker for permanent residence.  This is a strategy used by Australian employers who have a need for a position to be filled on a permanent basis.  In addition to meeting the needs of the employer, this strategy also provides permanent residency to the foreign worker.
