Labour Agreement Visa
The Labour Agreement Visa allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas workers under a formal labour agreement with the Australian Government. These agreements are designed to address specific workforce shortages that cannot be met through standard skilled visa programs.
Labour agreements may apply to individual businesses, industries, or regional areas. Visa eligibility, occupation lists, salary requirements, and concessions are determined by the terms of the approved agreement.

Important Note: Meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee visa approval, as applications are assessed individually in accordance with the relevant labour agreement and migration legislation. Labour Agreement Visas are assessed by the Department of Home Affairs. Visa outcomes are determined solely by the Department in accordance with current Australian immigration laws and policies.
