About this pathway

Employer sponsored pathways include the Skills in Demand visa (482), the Employer Nomination Scheme (186) for permanent residence, and regional sponsored options (494). They require an approved sponsor, a nominated position and a suitably skilled applicant.

Who is generally eligible?

Every case is assessed individually, but this pathway generally requires that you:

  • Have an approved or eligible sponsoring employer
  • Are nominated for an eligible occupation and position
  • Have the skills, experience and English required
  • Meet health and character requirements

Occupation eligibility and sponsorship rules change; we confirm current requirements for the role.
