Three separate applications related to this visa subclass:

Sponsorship – The proposed business or organisation must become an approved sponsor.

Nomination – the proposed business or organisation must nominate the visa applicant to engage with their organisation.

Visa – the applicant must make a valid visa application in association with the sponsorship and nomination applications.

Step 1 – Sponsorship

The sponsoring business or organisation must have an approved sponsorship in place for the nomination and visa to be approved. This is called a ‘Temporary Activities Sponsorship’. A business or organisation must become an approved sponsor to nominate potential visa applications. This sponsorship remains valid for up to five years. Documents required for the sponsorship vary according to the business specifics of each proposed sponsor. Migration Services will tailor the document checklist to each proposed sponsor’s unique needs.

Step 2 - Nomination

Once the sponsorship has been lodged, the nomination application may be lodged. An approved sponsorship must be in place for the nomination to be approved. An approved nomination is required for grant of the visa. A separate nomination must be lodged for each visa application. Each nomination must evidence that the applicant will be receiving the salary equivalent of an Australian employee in the same position. If there will be no remuneration, both the applicant and sponsor must sign specific statements identifying that no remuneration will be received. Please note that the applicant must evidence sufficient funds to support themselves during their stay in Australia. Most employers pay their trainees a salary. Evidence must be provided that the visa applicant will be engaging in a specific work-based training program. A training plan must be in place.
