Five Stages, Fully Managed
We guide your business through every stage of employer sponsorship — each step prepared, lodged and tracked by a Registered Migration Agent.
1. Strategy call & workforce assessment
We review the roles you need to fill, assess occupation eligibility and recommend the most effective sponsorship pathway for your business.
2. Become an approved sponsor
We prepare and lodge your Standard Business Sponsorship (or negotiate a Labour Agreement / DAMA), establishing your business as an approved sponsor.
3. Nominate the position
We manage labour market testing, salary benchmarking and the nomination of each position — ensuring every requirement is met.
4. Visa application & approval
We prepare and lodge the visa application for your worker (and their family), managing the department through to a decision.
5. Ongoing obligations & permanent residence
We help you understand and manage your sponsorship obligations, and plan ahead for key workers to transition to permanent residence. May provide a pathway to permanent residence, subject to the employer and visa holder meeting the applicable requirements at that time.
