Labour Agreements are formal arrangements between an employer and the Commonwealth which allows for the recruitment of an agreed number of overseas skilled workers. Both temporary and permanent visas can be granted under the agreement. Agreements are generally five years.

These agreements best suit situations where an employer may consider accessing a Labour Agreement that include occupations that are not on the list of approved occupations for the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) subclass 482 visa, permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) or Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme yet a genuine skills shortage exists or occupations are not covered under the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO)

This program allows you to employ a number of overseas workers on temporary and/or permanent visas.

TEMPORARY VISA
