Frequently asked questions
When should we consider a Labour Agreement vs standard sponsorship?
Labour Agreements suit roles outside current occupation lists, positions requiring concessions on standard eligibility criteria (age / English / salary), or specialist areas where the labour market can't supply qualified workers through standard programs.
Can we request concessions on multiple criteria?
Yes — the negotiation process allows employers to request concessions across age, English proficiency, qualifications and salary to match a genuine business need.
How long is a Labour Agreement valid?
Up to 5 years — providing stability for your medium-term sponsored worker arrangements.
Which visa subclasses can be used under a Labour Agreement?
Agreements provide pathways under 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage / SID), 186 (ENS permanent) or 494 (SESR).
