Business Sponsorship Applications for companies
The Business Sponsorship scheme has been set up to allow Australian businesses to employ overseas workers to assist with skills shortages.
The requirements that the business must satisfy to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) when applying to become a business sponsor are:
- that it employs Australians
- can evidence expenditure on training Australian employees
- is financially able to meet the obligations of the sponsorship
- complies with all relevant Australian employment regulations, awards and migration legislation
Once a company is approved by DIAC, the business sponsorship is valid for 3 years. The company will be monitored on a regular basis by the DIAC compliance section to ensure they are abiding by all sponsor obligations.
Geoffrey Nathan Consulting Inc can assist companies to apply to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to become a Business Sponsor.
Through our subsidiary company GN AwayPay, we provide outsource payroll services to organisations and we can conduct an assessment of your sponsored employees to determine if they are eligible to salary packaging LAFHA.
