Service & Expertise

Mobility, Migration and Global Workforce

Employer Sponsored Visas

PFEC Australia acts for Australian businesses sponsoring skilled workers from overseas, from offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Lakemba, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

  • Registering a business as a Standard Business Sponsor, with the lawful operation, financial health and workplace law requirements that approval turns on.
  • Preparing job nominations aligned with the relevant occupation list and the market salary rate, and evidencing that the position is genuine.
  • Advice on labour market testing, salary benchmarks and role eligibility, and on keeping an application compliant as the legislative requirements change.
  • Work across the permanent subclass 186, the temporary subclass 482, the regional subclass 494 and the training subclass 407, with the obligations that follow a grant: the agreed market salary, the nominated position, record keeping and telling the Department of a change.

Best for: an Australian employer that wants sponsorship approval, the nomination and the worker’s visa application handled together for a role it cannot fill locally.

Mobility, Migration and Global Workforce

Migration Agent

PFEC Australia also acts for individuals on skilled migration that needs no employer sponsor, with advice given by OMARA-registered migration agents.

  • Points tested subclass 189 applications, covering expression of interest lodgement, skills assessment and a strategy for lifting the points score.
  • Subclass 190 and regional subclass 491 applications, which turn on a state or territory government putting the applicant forward against criteria each one sets.
  • National Innovation Visa applications, and permanent residence planning for people already holding an Australian visa.

Best for: an Australian employer whose preferred candidate qualifies on points or through a state, and so needs no sponsorship at all.
