Sponsoring an overseas employee can be a practical solution to ongoing labour shortages but it also involves a number of technical and regulatory requirements that must be carefully assessed before proceeding.
Many sponsorship applications encounter delays or refusals not because businesses are ineligible, but because key elements such as the nominated role, salary, or pathway selection have not been properly aligned with current requirements.
This session will walk through the key considerations employers should assess early, to determine whether sponsorship is a viable and appropriate option for their business before committing time, cost, and resources.
