"Work Visa Australia"
Skilled Sponsored Migrant (176)
We have summarised in this Work Visa Australia page our understanding about the visa for skilled people sponsored by a relative or nominated by a government agency. For the up-to-date, official and detailed information visit the department of immigration website: www.immi.gov.au
We understand that this visa is for applicants who may not meet the points test for independent migrants. This is still a points tested visa but both the pass and pool marks are lower than for the
Australia work visa
for skilled independent migrants (subclass 175).
To compensate for the lower points someone needs to sponsor or nominate you to emigrate to Australia: - a relative,
or - a government agency in a state or territory that participates to this program.
Work Visa Australia -
Sponsorship by Relatives
Your sponsoring relative needs to be at least 18, and can be a parent or child who is not depending on you, a brother or sister, aunt or uncle, niece or nephew. They can be related to either you or your partner and they can be step relatives too. They can live anywhere in this country and don't need to be necessarily Australian citizens. Permanent residents can also sponsor a new migrant. But your relatives must sign a sponsorship agreement committing to help you for your first 2 years in your new country. This means they need to offer you accommodation or help you with your living expenses. Also to support you to participate to English classes by taking care of your children, for example. And they must bring you up to speed with how to start your new life in Australia and how to search for a job.
Nomination by a Government Agency
Governments in Australia can sponsor applicants who have professions that match the occupations in demand in various states. Check the government websites of each state. You can find links to these websites and also all the information you need about this option to emigrate to Australia
here.
If there are not enough local skills to fill certain jobs in a state and your line of work happens to be in one of those occupations, apply for sponsorship by that government. You need to satisfy all the criteria for a sponsored migration and you must commit to live in the respective state for at least two years. Good luck with your application.
