We give some visa holders permission to work in Australia. You can:
- employ or sponsor skilled workers who are already in Australia and have a visa that allows them to work
- employ or sponsor other skilled workers who may be in Australia on another type of visa which does not currently allow them to work
- sponsor skilled workers to come to Australia to work for you
Existing visa holders who are allowed to work in Australia might have work restrictions on their visas such as:
- working for a specific employer or in a certain place – these visa holders may already be sponsored and employed by an employer in Australia
- restricted to working for a specific number of hours per week such as an existing Student visa holder
- restrictions on how long they may work for a particular employer such as a Working Holiday visa holder
