Process of Employer Sponsorship and Nomination
Managing employer sponsorship and nomination involves several key stages, each carrying its own set of rules, regulations and requirements.
We start by interviewing the employers and the prospective nominees to understand their specific circumstances. We then research your situation, identify a viable immigration pathway and prepare you for the procedures involved in sponsoring or being sponsored.
Once this stage is complete, we guide you in preparing a comprehensive application, advising on the most persuasive and effective ways to present your case to the authorities. Finally, upon successful approval, we assist in the relocation process and ensure you comply with all the visa conditions.
Get In TouchEligibility for Employer Sponsorship and Nomination
Employer sponsorship and nomination hinge on a range of factors. The position to be filled must be present on the skilled occupations lists, the candidate must have the necessary skills, qualifications or experience to fill the position, and the employer must meet strict sponsorship obligations.
Consulting with our experienced lawyers at Align Law means you get a comprehensive understanding of these prerequisites. We provide thorough support in confirming that you meet all legal criteria and guide you with the necessary steps to strengthen your case for approval.
How to Maximise Success in Your Employer Sponsorship Application
Employer sponsorship and nomination applications are challenging and often stressful due to their complex nature and high stakes. To increase the chances of a successful application, you need to ensure that all necessary documentation is carefully prepared, thoroughly revised and accurately represented.
Another crucial aspect is addressing any concerns or questions raised by the Department of Home Affairs promptly and effectively.

meet the teamFrequently Asked Questions about Employer Sponsorship and Nomination
Employer sponsorship allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas employees to work in Australia. You may need it to fill a specific position in your business that could not be filled by an Australian employee.
Sponsorship refers to an Australian employer agreeing to “sponsor” an overseas employee to work in Australia. Nomination is when the employer nominates this employee for a specific position within the business.
The process can take from a few months to over a year. This varies based on numerous factors and the visa type involved. Our team at Align Law can give you a more accurate timeline based on your circumstances.
Not all businesses are eligible to sponsor employees. The business must prove they cannot find an Australian worker to fill the position. Our team can help you understand your business’s eligibility for employer sponsorship.
At Align Law, we provide comprehensive legal services for employer sponsorship applications. This includes providing initial consultations, preparing and reviewing all necessary documentation, and representing you during dealings with the Australian immigration authorities.
