There are many types of skilled jobs that are in demand in Australia. These jobs, which include tradespeople, teachers, medical and health professionals, IT/computer experts, managers and other professionals, will continue to grow to keep up with Australia's economic growth. There are temporary visas and permanent visas available. Some require sponsorship by employers, and some do not. Some require sponsorship by a relative in Australia, and others require Government sponsorship. Some are aimed at recent graduates.
Work (Employment) visas are for businesses who wish to bring in skilled staff from overseas for either temporary or permanent entry to Australia.
Temporary Sponsorship by Australian or Overseas Businesses (subclasses 456 & 457) Australian or overseas businesses are sometimes unable to meet their skill needs from the Australian labour market. They can sponsor workers from overseas on a temporary basis for up to 4 years to fill skilled positions in Australia. Under this program, positions must be full-time, meet minimum skill, English language skill and salary levels.
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) (subclass 121 & 856) This scheme allows Australian employers to recruit highly skilled workers from overseas and nominate them for a permanent visa where the employer has been unable to meet their skill needs from within the Australian labour market.
Employer sponsorship involves a number of steps, and we will work with you and your employer/sponsor through every stage. We look after the company sponsorship, your employment nomination and handle all your visa documents. We take the hard and confusing work out of the process, and we have the skills and experience to make it all go smoothly.
Australia's General Skilled Migration (GSM) program is designed to attract young, highly skilled working people, with high levels of skills in particular occupations that are required in Australia, and who have good English language ability.

Qualifying for skilled migration is based on a points system. Points are earned through factors such as your age, your work experience, your trade or occupation and your English language ability. Other points may be added to your score if you have close relatives living in Australia, have studied or worked in Australia previously or are able to invest in Australia. You also get points if you are sponsored by a state that needs your skills.
Each visa has different process and forms, and we have substantial experience in all types, from general managers to welders, teachers, IT specialists and medical professionals.

You can be as active or as quiet as you want. Australia is also spacious enough to find a quiet place by the sea to enjoy your retirement years.
Qualifying for retirement migration to Australia depends on your age, your assets (and those of your spouse, if applicable), access to an income stream and your health. 
(Migration Review Tribunal or Administrative Appeals Tribunal)
Has your visa application been refused or your visa cancelled?
The Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) handles the review of most Australian visa cases eligible for review under the law. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) handles the review of devisions in relation to visa cancellation on "character grounds" as well as business visa cancellations.
These are opportunities to appeal visa refusals. These are opportunities to overturn wrong decisions, and to present new and more detailed evidence to support your case. In many cases these are the last chance you get to save your application and to get yourself or your relative into Australia. We can help you to prepare these cases.
Please contact us immediately if you've had a visa application refused or a current visa cancelled. There are strict time-limits imposed by the Department.
We can even appeal MRT and AAT failures directly to the Minister of Immigration in some cases.
