Australia’s skilled workforce gaps are real — and we help Australian businesses fill them legally, efficiently and with full compliance confidence. Whether you are sponsoring your first overseas worker or managing an established international workforce, our immigration lawyers are with you at every stage.
Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)
The starting point for any employer sponsorship arrangement. Before you can nominate a position or sponsor a worker, your business must be approved as a Standard Business Sponsor. Our immigration lawyers manage the entire ASBS application — business activity evidence, financial documentation and sponsorship history — to give you the best chance of approval first time.
Sponsor Compliance
Being an approved sponsor comes with ongoing legal obligations that do not end when the visa is granted. We provide continuous compliance monitoring — covering record-keeping requirements, notification obligations and responses to Department audits — so your sponsorship remains clean and your business stays protected.
Ongoing Employer Support
Immigration is not a one-off event. As your workforce grows and circumstances change, having reliable immigration support on hand matters. We offer retainer-based employer support including regular check-ins, visa expiry tracking, condition monitoring and immediate advice when something unexpected arises.
Nomination Applications
Nomination is the second stage of the employer sponsorship process — and often the most technically demanding. We manage every aspect of the nomination including Labour Market Testing requirements, position descriptions, occupation matching and salary benchmarking to ensure each nomination is accurate and complete.
Labour Agreements
For industries or roles that fall outside the standard sponsorship framework, labour agreements offer an alternative pathway. This includes Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs) and industry-specific labour agreements. Our immigration lawyers manage the full process — from assessing whether an agreement is available for your industry, through to negotiating and formalising the arrangement with the Department of Home Affairs.
Hiring Overseas Workers — Complete Guide
New to sponsoring overseas workers? Our step-by-step guide covers every stage of the process — from assessing whether your role qualifies, to understanding sponsorship timelines, what is required of your business and what to communicate to your overseas candidate before they apply.
