Australia’s Employer Sponsored Visa program allows businesses to fill skill shortages by sponsoring qualified workers from overseas. These visas provide skilled professionals with an opportunity to work and live in Australia while helping businesses grow with the right talent. Whether you need a temporary or permanent visa, there are several pathways available depending on your occupation, experience, and employer’s needs.
At Wintr Consulting, we assist both employers and skilled workers in navigating the visa process smoothly, ensuring compliance with Australian immigration laws. Our expert team provides end-to-end support, from sponsorship approval to visa lodgement, making the process stress-free and efficient.
