How to Find an Employer Sponsor in Australia
One of the most common questions we receive is, "How do I find an Employer sponsor?"

1. Learn about the visa options and what they require for both the applicant and the sponsor
There are four types of visas for which you will need an employer sponsor:

The 482 Temporary Skill Shortage Visa enables Australian employers to address labor shortages by bringing in genuinely skilled workers.
The 186 Employer Nomination Scheme Visa allows skilled workers who are nominated by an employer to live and work in Australia permanently.
The 494 Skilled EmployerSponsored Regional Visa is designed for skilled workers who wish to work in regional Australia.
DAMA, or Designated Area Migration Agreements, for arrangements that offer a flexible approach to addressing unique economic and labor conditions across Australia.
2. Preparing your profile for the employersponsored positions
First, make sure your CV and cover letter are relevant to Australian standards for an occupation on the relevant list. For example, if you are a Chef, highlight your relevant skills and experience and any training.

Questions you should ask yourself
Is my LinkedIn profile updated to include experience and qualifications?
Have I completed the English language testing required for many work visas?
Does my occupation require registration, for example, for health professionals?

3. Searching the key online job websites
Seek is the most common job website in Australia. You can narrow the search by including keywords such as 482 sponsorship, employer sponsor, or DAMA, since many employers are not looking to hire employees that need a sponsored visa.

LinkedIn can also be a good place to look for potential sponsors in your field.

4. Researching and contacting employers that are already approved sponsors
You can find a list of approved accredited sponsors. Accredited sponsors are sponsors with a strong track record that are given faster processing times.

You can also find a Labour Agreement employer by searching those listed on the Department of Home Affairs website.

5. Build your personal and professional network
Next, consider networking, including inperson events. Attend industry meetups, webinars, and forums, both online and inperson if possible. The more you network, the higher your chances of finding a potential sponsor.

6. Consider regional areas and smaller cities
Consider moving to regions where there are more shortages and potentially more opportunities to find a sponsor in your occupation.

7. Engaging with the employer
When you find potential sponsors, it's time to engage.

For onshore applicants on temporary visas, you may want to consider getting a relevant job and building the relationship before you ask for sponsorship.

For offshore applicants, it can be more difficult because you may need to talk about wanting sponsorship very early on.

8. Getting professional help with the Visa
When you find a sponsor, consider seeking help from a registered migration agent or lawyer to help you with your visa application.
