Australia’s growing industries often face skill shortages that require international expertise. The Employer Sponsored Visa program enables Australian businesses to fill critical gaps by sponsoring skilled workers from overseas. At SNS Consulting Group, we bridge the gap between talent and opportunity—ensuring that both employers and international professionals benefit from a well-structured migration pathway.

Why Consider an Employer Sponsored Visa?

This visa category is designed to:

• Help Australian employers address labour shortages when qualified local candidates are unavailable

• Provide skilled international professionals with long-term or permanent work opportunities in Australia

• Strengthen regional businesses through access to global talent

• Facilitate career growth and migration pathways for eligible foreign workers
