If you're an international skilled worker dreaming of a long-term future in Australia—or an employer struggling to fill skilled positions—employer-sponsored visas might be your golden ticket.
At Nationwide Migration and Education, we’ve helped hundreds of clients secure successful outcomes through employer sponsorship programs, including the 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa, 186 Employer Nomination Scheme visa, 494 Regional Employer Sponsored visas and even the DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) visas, which open doors to regions facing critical skill shortages.
Why Choose Employer Sponsorship?
Employer-sponsored visas are not just a job opportunity—they’re a potential pathway to permanent residency (PR). If you're working in Australia on a temporary visa, employer sponsorship allows you to:
Secure long-term job stability
Work towards permanent residency
Bring family members with you
Build a career in high-demand industries across Australia
And for employers, it’s a chance to retain skilled staff, reduce turnover, and help your business grow with the right people in the right roles.

What Makes DAMA Visas So Special?
DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreements) are unique agreements between the Australian Government and regional areas that allow employers to sponsor workers in occupations that are not available under standard visa programs.
We’ve successfully assisted clients in hospitality, retail, aged care, and automotive industries to gain employer sponsorship in DAMA regions, even when they didn’t meet the criteria under standard skilled lists.
If you’ve been told “your occupation isn’t eligible”—talk to us first. There may be a DAMA pathway you haven’t explored.
🧠 FAQs – Employer Sponsored Visas in Australia
❓ Can I get PR through employer sponsorship?
Yes! Many employer-sponsored pathways like Subclass 186 or Subclass 494 → 191 offer a route to permanent residency after meeting work and visa conditions.
❓ What are the top visas under employer sponsorship?
Subclass 482 (TSS) – Temporary, but can lead to PR
Subclass 186 – Direct PR or after working on a 482
Subclass 494 – Regional PR pathway
DAMA – With extra concessions, depending on region
❓ Do I need a skills assessment?
It depends on the occupation and the visa subclass. Some roles require formal skills assessments via bodies like VETASSESS or TRA, while others may not.
❓ What if my occupation isn’t on the skilled list?
That’s where DAMA comes in. DAMA allows sponsorship for jobs not on the regular skilled lists, especially in regional areas.
