Australia has a number of visa options for individuals who wish to work or invest in Australia. These visas are designed to target genuine skill shortages, diversify business expertise and increase entrepreneurial talent, without displacing Australian workers.
Employer sponsored visa works two-way. It allows the Australian employers in shortage of skilled labour to sponsor specific skilled labour to serve their business needs. And, it also allows any kind of skilled labour of a foreign country to explore their employment options with Australian employers, in case they may need their skills.
