We Act for Both Employers and Workers
For Brisbane Employers
- Become an approved Standard Business Sponsor
- Run compliant Labour Market Testing
- Lodge a strong nomination with the right occupation, salary and evidence
- Understand and meet your sponsor obligations, so you avoid sanctions
- Calculate the SAF levy and other costs correctly
For Skilled Workers
- Confirm your occupation and eligibility
- Check your work experience, English and skills assessment requirements
- Manage your 482 application and plan your 186 PR transition
- Advise on regional (494) options if they are faster for you
Sponsoring an overseas worker is a three-step process with ongoing obligations, and we make sure you are on the right visa and the right pathway from the start.
Why a Brisbane Specialist Matters
Employer-sponsored visas are technical. The wrong stream, an occupation caveat, a salary below the market rate, or a missed Labour Market Testing window can sink an application. As Brisbane-based registered migration agents who do this work daily, we catch these issues before they cost you time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is not mandatory, but the 482, 186 and 494 process is technical and involves sponsorship, nomination and visa stages plus ongoing employer obligations. A registered agent reduces the risk of refusal and keeps everyone compliant.
Yes. A lawfully operating Brisbane business can become a Standard Business Sponsor and nominate a skilled worker for a 482 or 186 visa (494 is for positions in regional areas, which excludes metro Brisbane).
The 186 Employer Nomination Scheme is permanent. The 482 leads to the 186, and the 494 leads to permanent residency via the 191 visa after 3 years.
It depends on the visa, whether the employer is already an approved or accredited sponsor, and processing times. We give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.
