Compliance & Sponsorship Obligations

Businesses that engage in sponsorship or business migration arrangements are subject to ongoing compliance and regulatory obligations. These obligations apply regardless of whether a visa application has been approved and are closely monitored by the Department of Home Affairs.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice to employers, sponsors, and business operators on compliance obligations arising from sponsorship and migration arrangements. We assist clients to understand their responsibilities, manage regulatory risk, and maintain compliant systems that support ongoing business operations.

​

Sponsorship obligations may include requirements relating to employment conditions, record-keeping, reporting changes in circumstances, and cooperation with regulatory audits or investigations. Failure to meet these obligations can result in sanctions, sponsorship cancellation, civil penalties, or restrictions on future sponsorship eligibility.

​

We advise clients on establishing appropriate compliance frameworks, responding to regulatory enquiries, and addressing potential breaches before they escalate. Where issues arise, we provide strategic advice on remediation and engagement with regulatory authorities.
