Temporary Skilled Visas

Temporary skilled visas allow Australian businesses to sponsor overseas workers to fill skilled positions where local labour is not available. These visas involve detailed eligibility criteria and ongoing obligations for both the sponsoring employer and the visa holder.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice to employers and skilled workers on temporary skilled visa options, assisting with understanding sponsorship requirements, nomination criteria, and visa conditions. Our advice is structured and practical, with a focus on compliance and risk management throughout the sponsorship period.

​

Temporary skilled visas are subject to close regulatory oversight. Employers must meet sponsorship obligations, including reporting, record-keeping, and workplace compliance, while visa holders must comply with visa conditions relating to occupation, work location, and employment arrangements. We advise on these obligations to help avoid breaches that may lead to sanctions or visa cancellation.

​

We also assist clients in understanding how temporary skilled visas may support longer-term migration objectives, including potential pathways to permanent residency where available.
