How To Sponsor an Employee
Skilled visa sponsorship support for Australian businesses.
Let us help you beat the acronyms and headaches with sponsoring an employee
Finding the right employee is hard enough. When your preferred candidate needs visa sponsorship, the process can quickly become confusing.
Employers are often faced with acronyms such as SBS, LMT, CSIT, AMSR, SAF and nomination requirements before they even know where to start.
Employee Sponsorship Guide
GPS Migration Australia helps businesses understand and manage the employer-sponsored visa process. We work with small businesses, regional employers and growing organisations that want to sponsor skilled workers for genuine roles in Australia.

Whether you are sponsoring an employee for the first time or already have experience with the process, we can guide you through each step.
This may include becoming an approved sponsor, checking whether the role is eligible, confirming salary requirements, preparing labour market testing, lodging the nomination and supporting the employee’s visa application.

Employer-sponsored visas require more than good intentions. The business must meet sponsorship requirements, the role must be genuine, the salary must be appropriate and the applicant must satisfy the visa criteria. If one part of the process is not handled properly, the whole application can be placed at risk.
​
We provide clear, practical advice so you understand your obligations and your employee understands their pathway. Our goal is to help you secure the talent your business needs while reducing stress, confusion and compliance risk.
