Labour Agreement Visa

The Australian labour market is constantly evolving, and sometimes, employers face a critical challenge: a lack of qualified local candidates for specific skilled positions.

This is where they find the solution to the Labour Agreement. This agreement helps employers find qualified employees overseas, and employees can find good employment.

In short Labour Agreement Visa is a specialised temporary and permanent visa pathway designed to bridge this gap.

And to gap this bridge our experts at Endevaour Education & Migration come with best practices and experience.

What is a Labour Agreement Visa?

This visa stream caters to employers with a demonstrated need to fill a skilled position they cannot source from the Australian workforce. By signing a formal agreement with the Department of Home Affairs, employers gain the ability to sponsor or nominate overseas workers with the necessary skills and qualifications.

The labour agreement can be used to sponsor employees for:

TSS visas
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visas
Regional Sponsored Skilled Migration Scheme (RSMS) visas

The Process for Labour Agreement

Step 1: Enter into a Labour Agreement:

The proposed sponsoring or nominating employer must first enter into a labour agreement with the Department by applying in accordance with prescribed requirements. If successful, the labour agreement will generally be valid for five years. If the employer has an existing labour agreement, they only need to complete steps 2 and 3.

Step 2: Lodge a Nomination Application:

The employer must submit a nomination application for the position they seek to fill, ensuring it aligns with the terms of the executed labour agreement.

Step 3: Employee Visa Application:

The proposed employee (or nominee) must independently lodge a visa application on their behalf, adhering to the terms of the labour agreement.

Labour Agreement Visa Requirement

Each overseas worker seeking employer sponsorship or nomination under a labour agreement must submit a separate visa application that meets all relevant requirements.

Age Requirement: The nominee must be under 45 years old.
Nominated Occupation: The occupation must be specified in the labour agreement.
English Language Skills: The nominee must demonstrate they have the minimum required English language skills.
Skills Assessment: The nominee must have a relevant skills assessment if specified in the labour agreement.

These are just a few of the requirements. Our experts can help you understand the in-depth details. Give us a call to get started!
