482 TEMPORARY SKILL SHORTAGE VISA
​(EMPLOYEE SPONSORSHIP)
This visa enables employers to address labour shortages by bringing in genuinely skilled workers where employers can't source an appropriately skilled Australian.

This will require proof that you are unable to fill the role from within Australia, and subsequently your sponsorship of the worker.

This involves an application process that can take several months to complete.
​
The employee should be able to work with you for up to 2 years.
