Many employers aren’t aware that the Labour Agreement Stream can offer greater flexibility and access to overseas workers when standard visa options don’t work — particularly in regional and hard-to-fill roles.

As labour shortages continue to impact business operations, growth and service delivery, more employers are exploring alternatives to traditional sponsorship pathways. Labour agreements are one such option, designed to respond to genuine workforce needs where local recruitment efforts have not been successful.

It is designed for employers who want to understand what’s possible, identify options they may not have previously considered, and decide on the right next step before committing time and resources.
