Comprehensive Guide to Australia Work Visa Sponsorship

Securing a Australia work visa sponsorship is a pivotal step for those who aspire to build a career in one of the world's most dynamic economies. Australia's thriving industries, coupled with its high standard of living, make it a top destination for skilled workers globally. In this guide, we delve into the essential aspects of obtaining a work visa sponsorship, covering the key visa options, eligibility criteria, application processes, and more.

Understanding Australia’s Work Visa Options

Australia offers several work visa categories tailored to different skill levels and employment circumstances. Below are the most relevant visas for those seeking sponsorship:

1. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482)

The TSS visa allows employers to address labor shortages by bringing in skilled workers from overseas. This visa has three streams:

Short-Term Stream: For occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), valid for up to 2 years, or 4 years if an international trade obligation applies.

Medium-Term Stream: For occupations on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Regional Occupation List (ROL), valid for up to 4 years, with a pathway to permanent residency.

Labour Agreement Stream: For workers sponsored under a labor agreement between the Australian government and employers.

2. Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186)

The ENS visa allows skilled workers nominated by their employer to live and work permanently in Australia. This visa has three streams:

Direct Entry Stream: For individuals who have never worked in Australia or have only worked for a short period.

Temporary Residence Transition Stream: For TSS visa holders who have worked for their employer for at least 3 years.

Labour Agreement Stream: For workers nominated under a labor agreement.

3. Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494)

This visa enables skilled workers to live, work, and study in designated regional areas of Australia. It has a pathway to permanent residency via the Subclass 191 visa.

4. Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) Visa (Subclass 187)

Similar to the ENS visa but specifically for regional Australia. This visa is being replaced by the Subclass 494 and Subclass 191 visas but is still relevant for applications lodged before November 16, 2019.

Eligibility Criteria for Work Visa Sponsorship

Eligibility for an Australian work visa sponsorship depends on various factors including your occupation, skills, qualifications, and the specific visa category. Here are the general requirements:

1. Occupation Listing

Your occupation must be on the relevant skilled occupation list, which varies by visa type. Employers must demonstrate that the role cannot be filled by an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

2. Skills Assessment

A positive skills assessment in your nominated occupation is often required. This is conducted by a relevant assessing authority in Australia.

3. English Language Proficiency

Applicants must meet the English language requirements, typically demonstrated through standardized tests like IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL.

4. Health and Character Requirements

Applicants must meet the health and character criteria set by the Australian government. This usually involves medical examinations and police clearance certificates.

5. Age Limitations

For most work visas, applicants must be under 45 years of age at the time of application. Some exemptions apply for certain applicants.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Application Process

Navigating the application process for an Australian work visa sponsorship can be complex. Below is a structured approach to help you through it:

1. Employer Sponsorship

Step 1: The employer must apply to become a standard business sponsor (SBS).

Step 2: The employer nominates the position to be filled by an overseas worker.

Step 3: The employee applies for the visa.

2. Skills Assessment and English Testing

Step 1: Identify the correct skills assessing authority for your occupation.

Step 2: Prepare and submit your qualifications and work experience for assessment.

Step 3: Book and complete the necessary English language test.

3. Lodging the Visa Application

Step 1: Gather the required documentation, including identification, qualifications, employment history, and proof of English proficiency.

Step 2: Submit the visa application online through the Department of Home Affairs portal.

Step 3: Attend any required health examinations and submit police clearance certificates.

4. Await Decision

The processing time varies depending on the visa type and the applicant's circumstances. Employers and applicants can track the progress of the application online.

5. Visa Grant and Compliance

Once granted, the visa comes with conditions that must be adhered to, including working only for the sponsoring employer and in the nominated occupation.

Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them

Securing an Australian work visa sponsorship can come with various challenges. Understanding these can help you prepare better:

1. Finding a Sponsor

Securing an employer willing to sponsor can be difficult. Networking, targeted job searches, and leveraging online platforms like LinkedIn can increase your chances.

2. Meeting Skill and Experience Requirements

Ensure your qualifications and experience align with Australian standards. You may need additional certifications or training.

3. Navigating the Complex Application Process

Consider engaging a migration agent to assist with your application, especially if you are unfamiliar with the process.

4. Handling Visa Refusals

If your visa is refused, you may have the option to appeal the decision or apply for a different visa. Understanding the reasons for refusal is crucial to addressing any issues.

Conclusion

Australia work visa sponsorship offers a pathway to a rewarding career and the opportunity to live in one of the world's most desirable countries. By understanding the various visa options, meeting eligibility requirements, and carefully navigating the application process, you can enhance your chances of success. Employers and applicants alike must stay informed and proactive to ensure a smooth and successful visa application experience.

Exit trafficking: Western Sydney man abandons his wife overseas after she fell out with his mum

Western Sydney man convicted over 'exit trafficking'

He took his wife abroad, but only he had a return ticket 

READ MORE: Human trafficking gang that operated a string of brothels jailed

By PADRAIG COLLINS FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

PUBLISHED: 06:40 EDT, 27 June 2024 

A western Sydney man who abandoned his wife overseas after she fell out with his mother has been convicted over what is known as 'exit trafficking'. 

It is a type of modern slavery where women are tricked or coerced into leaving a country, in this case Australia, and prevented from returning.

The 44-year-old man, who lives in Merrylands in Sydney's south-west, took his wife on 'a charity mission' to their home country of Afghanistan in January 2018, police said.

But the man, known as AR to protect his family, only had a return ticket for himself. His wife did not realise that her ticket was one-way to Afghanistan. 

The day after he returned to Australia, AR wrote to the Department of Home Affairs, cancelling the sponsorship of his wife's visa, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

He did so because his mum didn't like his wife, and it resulted in the woman he had been married to for four years being stranded overseas.

The woman's relatives helped get her back to Australia, where she reported her husband to the police.  

AR's conviction last Friday was the third such exit trafficking conviction in Australia.

He was sentenced to two years jail with 12 months of it to be served in the community on a good behaviour bond.

Human rights activist Helena Hassani said there has been an increase in such oppression of women, often in migrant communities, in Australia.

While there are many cases involving men from Afghan and other migrant communities taking their wives abroad and leaving them there, she said there are also many cases where 'Aussie men marry women from Asia, bring them here, but marry them into servitude, or treat them like sex workers'.

Many women, such as AR's wife, are only in Australia on partner visas, leaving them reliant on their husband's sponsorship to stay in the country.

Some women in these communities are discouraged from using money, getting an education or working outside the home because the men want a 'servant'.

'It's a cultural practice where the less educated women are, the happier men are, because then no one is challenging them, no one is confronting them, and they just live the way they want to live,' Ms Hassani told the publication.

Acting Detective Sergeant Sarah Manning of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said exit trafficking often goes unreported.

No one has the right to 'cancel' another person's visa, including the visa sponsor,' she said. 

'This type of behaviour is a Commonwealth offence and carries a potential 12-year jail term.'

The first exit-trafficking conviction was in 2021, when a man from Lidcombe in western Sydney threatened to murder a woman unless she boarded a flight to India with her infant child.

The horrific interaction was captured on Sydney Airport's CCTV after the anti-human trafficking group Anti Slavery Australia told the AFP what happened.

Anyone with information about potential modern slavery or trafficking is urged to report it to Australian Federal Police on 131 237.

Sunsets and footballers (Part 15)

Lucy Bronze x Reader (15)

Masterlist (other parts here)

The morning had been filled with more sex, desperate kisses and grabbing, biting and fucking. But it was more than just sex, much more, and they both knew it. It was the most expressive way that they could both show each other just how much they affected each other. How much they meant to each other. And damned if they weren’t going to use every second they had in their little happy bubble.

YFN had managed to convince Lucy that she’d be okay to go to the embassy alone. She knew Lucy had been neglecting her knee to spend time with her and was overdue for some recovery sessions. Lucy insisted on dropping her off regardless and left to do her physio.

YFN was nervous, but she had nothing to worry about. She met a nice man called Martin who looked over her case and listened to her explanations of what happened. He told her that complaints were common and that he didn’t agree with the system and how it operated. “This isn’t America. We aren’t ICE!” He’d said gruffly and they spoke a little about how it shouldn’t be so easy to make anonymous complaints of someone’s Visa when they were ‘clearly within the legal parameters of such Visa’. They had a good chat about him, his partner and his children, while he went through his paperwork. They spoke about her previous job and how her visit was going. He’d appreciated the mountain of evidence she’d brought, both self-researched and from Lucy’s lawyers. It turned out he was a huge football supporter -as she was realising that most of the UK were- and his daughter even played in the under 15s. He ducked away apologetically to confirm her character reference was who she said they were, and of course Ridley had answered the phone. He came back gushing over her, like everyone who met her did. An acquired taste, but very intelligent and loveable. He’d even apologised when he’d gotten back as the conversation went longer than expected – the effect Ridley had on people. Again, she wasn’t surprised.

Martin offered her Visa back, along with his number to call in case another complaint was made, or for any other future changes to her Visa.

YFN felt comfortable enough with him to ask about Visa’s for Europe as well as the possibility of working in the UK. They’d discussed the apparent lack of interviewers for women’s sport and again, he was eager. She showed him an example of the column she used to write in Australia which was very much open to whatever topic controversial enough for her to deem worthy of a column, and he moved around a few appointments to talk to her about her options. She had a few different options, but he guided her towards the sponsorship from a company. She needed to be guaranteed at least 6 months of work and the Visa was for 2 years with the ability to progress to other Visa’s past that. YFN hadn’t personally spoken to the company Katie and Caitlin had been speaking of, and she didn't mention them to Martin, but he seemed confident she would find work. She liked him, he seemed a lovely family man and exactly the type of person she’d needed to sort out the mess that had been made. Somehow, the horrible situation had turned out completely in her favour.

They parted ways, Martin again insisting that she use his number with any more Visa changes or questions, and she was excited to tell Lucy the news, and the possibility of staying around Europe for longer. She loved giving her good news.

She came out of the appointment after being there for a few hours and opened her phone. She immediately saw that Lucy had posted some pictures of her rehab session, including some boxing. YFN could feel her body heat at the sight, and she bit her lip. She liked the post, of course, and commented with a bicep emoji, and a face exhaling emoji. Lucy would know what she meant. She did, after all, have hickey’s on her biceps from their adventures over the past 24 hours, and she wasn’t apologetic about that at all. She was obsessed with her biceps and whenever she had a chance, they were always in her hands, or under her mouth. She found it hard to believe that this woman, Lucy Bronze, the jaw-droppingly sexy woman in those photo's, was her girlfriend, and had quite literally been inside her last night. And this morning. She caught her thoughts, biting her lip again.

She didn’t want to rush Lucy, and so she gave her a simple text saying she was out exploring London whenever she was finished, and to not rush. When she and Jordan were alone, she’d changed the time of the booking she had to 3pm, because she had no idea how long the Visa would take and regardless, she wanted Lucy to have a good amount of hours with her session.

Of course, Lucy called her almost immediately.

“I can com-”

“No, Luce. You stay.”

“But-”

“Luciiiia.” Unlike everyone else, she pronounced it as ‘Loo-chee-ah’, which she knew Lucy loved.

“I don’t like you out there alone with…”

“I know, love.” She said softer, repeating Lucy’s words from the night before. It filled her with butterflies, and she swore she could hear Lucy soften over the phone. “I’m happy to explore and I’ll stay around people. I’ll be fine, just please… please focus on your health and your knee. I’ll see you at 2:30, okay? I’ll message you where we can meet..”

Lucy wasn’t keen on the idea, but she reluctantly agreed.

For the first time, YFN found herself in the dead centre of London and although she wanted to enjoy herself, she always felt her eyes wandering around for those girls, and so she made sure to stay near people in case anything happened. Regardless, she tried to enjoy her day. She wandered around looking at shops and the old buildings in wonder, making sure to take photos for her Nan, and send a few to Lucy as a way of telling her she was okay. She sat in a park for a little while and read some of the book she’d brought, feeling the sun on her skin. It wasn’t as harsh as the sun in Australia, but it was just enough to cut through the breeze and keep her skin sun-kissed and warm.

When 2:30pm eventually came around, YFN was wandering to the spot she told Lucy to meet at, and there she was, standing outside, leaned up against her car, the most attractive human being on the planet. YFN could feel her body reacting, needing her. She was in shorts, of course, her knee strapped, and she was so goddamn tanned from Spain. Her ankles were crossed, as well as her arms and her biceps stretched her white Nike shirt. Just the outline of her body, those muscled thighs, biceps, shoulders, were sending her crazy and that was without mentioning her throat, or her jawline that could probably cut paper. She was scanning the park for YFN, her eyes looking in the opposite direction so she could better see that jawline and the features of her face. Having just been to training, she was without glasses and her face looked almost naked to her. She could brush her lips over each part of her face like she had last night, and it still wouldn’t be enough. As she got closer, Lucy spotted her, and that wide grin crossed her face. YFN sped up and jogged towards her for two reasons: 1) because she didn’t want Lucy to have to walk on her knee more than she had to and, 2) she couldn’t stand being apart from her a second longer. Her arms wrapped around her Lucy and they fell back into the car with a chuckle. Lucy’s arms around her were just as strong and needy as her own. Her head found its favourite place on her collarbone, forehead to her neck and she breathed her in. She smelled like vanilla and bitter orange. Lucy’s smell. The smell that was home to her now.

“God I missed you.” Lucy groaned, kissing YFN wherever she could reach. YFN giggled and tilted her head back, accepting all of the love.

“London is pretty… and I missed you more.”

“Impossible.” Lucy refused between kisses.

“Your post sent me wild..”

Lucy pulled back with a wide grin and flirty green eyes. “Oh, you liked it, did you? I was hoping you would..”

“I’m loving your boxing era.”

“Good thing it’s around to stay then. Best way to do cardio without straining my knee, plus, I’m really enjoying it. Building more muscle.” She flexed her bicep and YFN grinned.

"Well not the best way to do cardio..."

Lucy groaned.

YFN's hands glided their way up her back and shoulders, dipping over the muscles that she’d worked so hard for. She could feel herself getting wet and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.

“What are you doing?” Lucy asked, voice husky but curious.

“Calming myself down.” She said and took another breath.

“Why?”

“Because you’re the sexiest human being to ever exist and I’m trying to stop myself getting so excited.”

Lucy was silent until YFN had to open her eyes to look. Lucy’s expression was flirty, needy, in control, and horny. Her hands slid down YFN’s sides, over her waist, her hips, and found their way to her ass where they grabbed and began sliding back up her back, pressing them together.

“All mine.” Lucy growled in a way that said there was absolutely no arguing to be done as she crashed their lips together, pulling her against her body by her lower back. YFN returned the passion eagerly, one hand on the side of Lucy’s neck, the other at the back of her head. She was hers. Her body shuddered at the want, the need, the passion in which Lucy claimed her. Their tongues met and brushed each other teasing, while they gasped for breath.

YFN eventually found the strength to pull away first. “Public, Lucia…” she reminded her. Lucy grunted, still holding her tight, her lips brushing over her temple, her cheek, her jaw. When she started going for her throat, YFN had to give her another warning. She’d never had sex in public before but fuck, she was just about to if Lucy didn’t find the strength to stop.

Lucy groaned and pulled back, lips well kissed and breathing ragged. It was good to see that YFN had the same effect on Lucy as she did for her.

“How have I survived without you this long?” She asked, shaking her head, and YFN knew she wasn’t referring to the past 7 hours.

“I was just thinking the same thing…” She managed to regain her composure just a little and only due to the sound of people around them. “Ready for our second date?”

It was a rage room. Or so that’s all Lucy thought it was. She was kept in the dark from the moment YFN had said she’d plan the second date, right up to the point where they were in overalls and goggles, locked in a room with baseball bats and other weapons of choice. Lucy was pleasantly surprised, her face lighting up and her inner child bubbling to the surface.

“We’ve had a bit of a rough time lately…” YFN explained. “I figured we could get some stress out?”

And they did. Lucy was hesitant at first, not wanting to show her rage. But after YFN was more than willing to demonstrate her frustrations by taking an axe to the window of a car, Lucy let loose. And absolutely fucking destroyed the room. It started with a grin, it shifted to annoyance, then rage, then it simmered back down to pure fun. She’d needed this and didn’t even realise it.

After the room was destroyed and she thought she was done, she dropped the bat, panting. Suddenly she was hit in the neck, a wet substance exploding on her skin, splashing down onto her overalls and up onto her face. She still had a surprised look on her face as she turned towards her little Australian who had a devious look on hers. She had a bag slung over her shoulder, and she was tossing a paint balloon in her hand. Her favourite movie.

“You want me to be your Heath Ledger?” Lucy challenged.

YFN chuckled and threw another one, and Lucy the athlete was easily able to avoid it. Then she ran. Lucy dove for the other bag on the ground, tugging it over her shoulder as she chased her around the room. Her first red paint balloon smacked into her shoulder, and the next smacked a perfect blue target on her ass. They shouted and chased, teased, and tried to hide behind items. YFN was worried for Lucy’s knee, but it didn't seem to be a concern for the right back at all. As they were covered with different colours of the rainbow and running out of ammo, Lucy tackled her to the ground and they smashed their last balloons over each other before their lips crashed together. Their tongues met again, and Lucy groaned, grabbing the back of her thigh and pulling it up around her.

“Aaaaand time’s up folks!” A voice rang through the speakers as the door clicked.

The date had them both smiling so hard that their cheeks were sore and YFN felt happy knowing she’d chosen the right thing for their second date. They wiped off as much paint from each other as they could, but it was still caked in their hair, patching their faces and necks. They knew they wouldn’t be getting the colours out of their nails for days.

On the way home, they stopped by a pizza place that Jordan had suggested they try. YFN figured that the perfect end to the date would be a casual pizza takeaway at home with cuddles and blankets. Lucy was more than keen on the idea. She pulled up outside of the pizza restaurant and left the car running.

“I’ll go pick it up.” Lucy leant over and kissed YFN on the lips like they’d been together years. “I’ll just be a minute, little one.”

YFN’s cheeks flushed slightly, her little butterflies coming to life. Since she’d texted Lucy where she was, she hadn’t picked up her phone all night and it was such a good feeling. She loved being detached from it, especially lately when it had been causing so much stress. She enjoyed it so much that she’d used Lucy’s phone to place the pizza order on, not wanting to see her phone until tomorrow.

But apparently not even that could remove the problems that had inserted themselves so abruptly into her life. Still smiling, she looked out of Lucy’s window and saw two of them staring at her, pointing and yelling. Before she had time to process beyond shock, they were running across the road for the car. YFN panicked and leant over, slamming the door locks on. They grabbed at the door, trying to yank it open. YFN’s eyes were wide with shock as they smashed against the car, shouting abuse at her. She almost froze, and considered beeping the horn but she didn’t want Lucy to run out and be hurt by these maniacs. Then she made the mistake of turning to look out her window for her girlfriend and locked eyes with her. Kristie. She put her phone up to the window clearly showing YFN a photo of her and Lucy kissing when she'd picked her up at the park.

“I warned you, you fucking slut! She’s mine!” She yelled, pure hatred in her voice.

Kristie took a few steps back, her arm raising behind her. Then a brick shattered through the window and collided with her head. And then, black.

2024 [profoundly abridged]

or, a short-ish answer to "but six, where tf have you been??"

january

get invited to chat with Boss about Company sponsoring me for temporary (it is already doing this) or permanent (it is looking into this) residency. discover that what we are actually chatting about is that Company will, once current visa expires, do neither.

february/march

get invited to more chats, which boil down to "the problem is sponsorhip, not you/your work; if you find a way to stay with Company without sponsorship, which is Too Damn Hard, let us know."

go to albert park grand prix. spend days watching cars go nyoom while i hang out under the same tree, and with the same magpie gang, where i normally lunch-break and have ever since coming back to the office post-lockdowns. fail to bear the cognitive dissonance of so completely belonging to this place that bureaucrats do not frequent (which i can say with confidence because i do) yet "protect" with systems designed to drive people like me away*.

june

turn 40. sit with high likelihood of being unemployed and legally required to leave my home within six months. struggle to imagine turning 41.

july

find out my mom is dying. only find out my mom is dying because her long-term caregiver quietly, compassionately forgets her HIPAA regulations in the car and reaches out on [social media platform] to anyone with [very rare last name].

cousin messages my brother like "soooo Caregiver says your mom is dying? Caregiver wanted to reach out to you and six on your mom's behalf but [soap-opera villain aunt, who is also Caregiver's employer] won't let her??"

cousin and brother visit mom. mom is, indeed, dying. soap-opera villain aunt is mad Caregiver reached out to us behind her back, "but her heart was in the right place." wonder if cognitive dissonance is actually what's in that weird-ass bdsm pain-box in dune.

august

mom dies. turns out a lot of death admin things can only be done on US soil. plan trip back to greatlakesian homeland.

september

go back. do death admin for mom stuff and life admin for trans stuff. hang out with my brother. get lost in a corn maze. find a pumpkin bigger than his head. go back home. finish work.

november

per legal requirement, leave home.

december

survive. rent a "budget-conscious" room near a soul-shaking beach. wonder how i lived in australia for eight years without ever upsetting** a magpie yet, in new zealand, get swooped for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth times. i had not even been here a month.

in conclusion

thank god for the many excellent people and many solace-balm moments that helped me survive this far into this fucking year.

===

*if this sounds melodramatic, please sit in on a lecture or two with dr google before you @ me.

**to the contrary, the whole Turn 8 Playground Gang knew me, and i knew them, by sight and song; they'd literally come nyooming over to chat and hang out. i knew which swamp hens they were cool with and which ones they were lowkey afraid of. i knew which magpies (those golf course bastards *spits*) were the hatfields to their mccoys and which ones they just couldn't be fucked to carol at. i wasn't as close with the citizens park crew because they had wayyyy more people to be going on with, but we never had issues. so while i don't delude myself that i'm a fucken magpie whisperer or whatever, neither does the evidence support "well mate, you were bloody ignorant is what you were -- got swooped? nah yeah, serves you right."

My challenge over the next month

Hey everyone. I'm going to be honest that this is largely going to be a vent post about what's been going on in my personal life recently. I want to get it out there though. Maybe someone will have an idea of how to accomplish what I need to that I hadn't thought of.

For a little background, I've been actively trying to get Australian citizenship. I was born in the US, but Australia is my home. For a vast majority of my adult life, I've been nomadic, traveling all over the US in hope of finding a place I felt comfortable. I've never lived anywhere for longer than a year and a half since I was 18. I was afraid that home just wasn't a feeling I could have. Going to Australia changed that. I feel at peace there, and I feel comfortable in a way that just never really happened in the US anywhere.

A very important deadline in that effort is coming up though. One of the most efficient paths to Australian citizenship is the Working Holiday Visa. It is one of the few temporary visas that allow a person to work while they are in Australia which is crucial to receiving sponsorship for a more permanent visa.

However, come November of this year, I will no longer be eligible to apply for this visa. Even more urgent, the best possible opening for me to have a place to live in Australia is from April through June of this year. This all largely means I need to get approved for this visa as soon as possible if I don't want my naturalization efforts to become a decade long struggle of seeking sponsorship from outside the country.

There are a number of requirements for the visa, but I'm really not worried about most of them. I achieve them fine or with minimal effort on my part. The one that concerns me is that they require you to be in possession of 5000$ AUD. (Aprx. 3500$ USD) It doesn't need to be spent, just in your bank account. It's an assurance you won't become homeless while you're on the visa. While a reasonable concern in most of cases, it really doesn't apply to me as someone with a support network and resources in the country already.

Putting away that kind of money just isn't possible for me. I'm an openly trans person in an environment that is growing increasingly hostile towards my existence. Even going 'boy mode', I still get called ma'am frequently. Normally the dream for a transgirl, but in this case it means I can't just hide my transness in order to get work. I also have incredibly bad social anxiety to boot. Even with a bachelor's degree in a burgeoning field (Computer Science) I struggle to find work here.

My illustration commissions and streaming are my only sources of money. It gets me by with the generous help of my roommate, but saving up money just simply isn't possible with such little income, and even then, without the help of one of my clients tossing me extra funds recently, I would've fallen behind on even just the essentials.

I'm trapped in the position of doing everything I can, and being afraid to ask for help given the very personal and privileged nature of what I'm trying to accomplish. I.E. I don't *need* to immigrate to survive. Being able to move countries isn't exactly something people just get to do. It's not like I'm trying to get money for a life-saving surgery.

I've considered doing discounts for my illustrations to push sales, but my backlog is already quite large as it is. People who commission me now might be stuck waiting until Autumn for their purchases at my current rate. I've considered donathons with streaming, but as I said, it feels wrong to just ask for donations over something that isn't necessary for me to survive and even if I didn't, 3500$ is a massive amount of money to raise.

On the optimistic side, I have around 600$ now already, and my girlfriend is working really hard, taking extra shifts to try and get money together herself to help. I know it's possible with the effort of many, but I just don't know how to ask for that help in a way that doesn't make me feel like I'm just sapping away the kindness of my friends, and that one day they'll just get tired of helping me.

So that's the situation. I do my best to put on a strong face a lot of the time. I'm good at being happy even when I'm filled with anxiety. I know a lot of people look to me as a source of optimism and hope in my circles, but I've got my struggles too. This isn't really supposed to be a call to do anything at all, but if you have any good ideas for resolution, I'm happy to hear them.

Thanks loves~ Gwen

What Employers Should Know About Sponsoring Workers?

Employees are an important aspect of any organisation. Employers always wish to employ skilled and talented individuals in their companies, and they even go beyond borders.

Why not? If they cannot find employees who meet Australian standards, they can hire workers through various visas like the Labour Agreement visa.

The need for sponsoring workers

Nowadays, there is a shortage of skilled workers in many sectors of the world, so governments are allowing employers to fill vacancies worldwide.

If we consider a developed country like Australia, the escalating skilled shortage here is compelling businesses to rely on foreign workers to bridge the labour gap. 

Although this approach solves immediate staffing challenges, it requires a deep understanding of complex immigration laws and sponsorship obligations. 

The visa landscape constantly evolves, so businesses must maintain compliance to secure approvals. By fully understanding the relevant visa categories and the responsibilities associated with sponsorship, organisations can successfully source and retain skilled overseas talent for long-term growth and success.

Things employers should know about sponsoring workers

Understand the different visa types: 

When sponsoring a foreign worker, navigating the complex visa landscape is essential. Two primary visa categories involve:

Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa—(Subclass 482): This allows the nomination of employers for skilled employees temporarily. For an occupation to be qualified for sponsorship, it must appear on the MTSSL/MLTSSL or the STSOL lists. 1 An employer needs to show that genuine effort has been made to look for an Australian worker.

Employer-Sponsored Permanent Visa (Subclass 186): Employers can nominate skilled employees for permanent residency under this visa. The requirements are that the employee has specific skill and experience requirements and an actual job offer from an approved sponsor.

II. Key considerations for employers:

Genuine position requirement: Employers must establish that the position is available and needed for the businesses; this may be done through evidence of the specific experience and qualifications required, showing the position is essential in the organisation, and failure to fill the position with a suitable Australian worker.

Labour market testing: For many applications, sponsors must undertake labour market testing, demonstrating that they have taken genuine steps to find a suitable Australian worker for the position. This would include advertising the position and considering all qualified applicants.

Sponsorship obligations: Employers should maintain appropriate working conditions, pay decent wages, and ensure workers' well-being. 

Visa conditions and requirements: Employers should understand the conditions and requirements attached to each visa category. These may include restrictions on work hours, location, and the types of work that can be performed.

Regular reviews and reporting: Employers are sometimes required to regularly review and report on the employment and compliance of the sponsored worker with the visa conditions.

III. Employee visa application process:

After being an approved sponsor and nominating a position, which you hopefully go through smoothly, it enters into the employee's process for the visa application. They must meet qualifications, English language competency, and age threshold.

IV. Costs associated with sponsorship:

Most sponsorships have some financial cost in the form of application fees, legal fees, and compliance costs; employers should budget accordingly and be clear about what price they are legally obligated to pay versus what might be shared with the sponsored employee.

V. Compliance monitoring with immigration laws:

Employers must adhere to immigration laws for the whole sponsorship period, including verifying that the worker is carrying out duties relevant to the occupation nominated and keeping records of the worker's employment. Failure to do so might mean penalties or cancellation of sponsorship rights.

Although the entire process can be overwhelming, keeping these things in mind can help you smoothly transition the process as a whole. 

The bottom line

Sponsoring overseas workers is a strategic way employers can get around workforce shortages and ensure business growth. However, the process involves a range of responsibilities, including being aware of visa requirements, adhering to labour market regulations, and supporting the integration of foreign employees within the workplace.

Employers can trust migration professionals like Education Endeavour & Migration Services to make the process easy. They seamlessly guide employers and employees through the complications of sponsorship and ensure that everything is well conducted within the law. They can assist your organisation with custom-fit solutions, sponsoring temporary workers, or offering permanent employment.
