To work in Australia, overseas residents need to have a valid work visa. There are a range of different visas available depending on your circumstances. If you have certain skills or qualifications that are in demand in the Australian market, you may be eligible for a work visa. Australia is currently facing major skill shortages in the areas of information technology, nursing, automotive trades, engineering and many more areas. Work visas may allow applicants opportunities to work in Australia in their nominated occupations with approved sponsors for up to four years, depending on their circumstances.

At Longton Legal, we are able to provide comprehensive and specific information to the applicant and/or the sponsor to determine the best avenue for success.
