How Migration Unity Can Help Your Business
Eligibility and Risk Assessment
We'll comprehensively assess your business's eligibility to sponsor international talent and identify the optimal visa pathways. We’ll also review your business policies to identify and address immigration risks to ensure 100% compliance.
Labour Agreements
A Labour Agreement is a formal arrangement between you and the Government that allows your business to sponsor skilled overseas workers when suitable local workers can’t be found. If required, we help you navigate this complex process to ensure a faster, smoother path to filling critical positions.
Labour Market Testing
We help you navigate Labour Market Testing, which is designed to ensure Australian workers have the first opportunity at local jobs before offering them to overseas workers. We ensure correct placement across multiple platforms to properly document your recruitment efforts.
SAF Levy
The Skilling Australians Fund (SAF) Levy is a mandatory government fee for businesses sponsoring skilled overseas workers. Our expert team handles all aspects of SAF compliance, ensuring your payment is correctly calculated and properly timed with your nomination.
Approved Sponsor
We’ll assess your business to ensure it meets sponsorship requirements, prepare and lodge your Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) application, and manage all correspondence with the Department of Home Affairs. Once approved, we’ll help you identify eligible occupations, gather the right evidence, and lodge strong, compliant nomination applications.
Post-Lodgment Support
We’ll continue to monitor the application after lodgement and liaise with the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf. We’ll also help with setting up the transition to a permanent visa or Australian citizenship down the line. In the event of an adverse migration decision, we’ll assist you with the appeals and review process.

My business has been working with Migration Unity for many years and we’ve had brilliant results. The guys are super professional and efficient. We’ve had 100% success rate with all our sponsorship applications to date.
Highly recommend.
I can’t speak highly enough of Migration Unity. Taina was fantastic from start to finish, she always kept us updated and fully explained every step of the process. We are now permanent residents of Australia!
Marina and Rachel were amazing. They were prompt and responsive and gave us a really great and pain free experience getting a Visa!
A massive thanks to Matthew, Kate and Kate Royo! They have been amazing and helpful. They made my application process so easy and smooth.
Preston Harrison at Migration Unity has been incredibly helpful over the last couple years in getting me a permanent residency visa. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Matthew was very informative and clarified all my questions. He demonstrated genuine concern and advised all options available to me. I would definitely recommend him.
FAQs
The right visa really depends on your specific business needs. Most of our clients start with the 482 temporary visa as it’s generally faster and more flexible. The 186 is ideal if you’re looking for a permanent solution right from the start. And if your business operates in a regional area, the 494 gives you access to additional occupations while offering your employee a pathway to permanent residency.
During our initial consultation, we’ll help you identify which option best aligns with your recruitment strategy.
You absolutely can go straight to permanent residency with the 186 Direct Entry stream if your candidate meets the requirements. Many of our clients prefer this approach when they’ve found someone they want to retain long-term.
That said, most businesses start with the 482 temporary visa and transition to PR later – it often gives you more flexibility and can be less demanding in terms of initial qualifications and experience requirements.
Yes, newer businesses can definitely sponsor workers. What matters most is demonstrating that you’re a genuine, operating business with the capacity to support an overseas employee.
We’ve successfully helped many startups and growing companies secure sponsorship approvals by strategically presenting their case. The key is showing the Department that your need is legitimate and sustainable.
For standard visa pathways like the 482, 186, or 494, yes – the position needs to be on the relevant skilled occupation list. If your role isn’t listed, a labour agreement may be an alternative.
The process has three main stages:
- Getting your business approved as a sponsor (if you’re not already)
- Nominating the specific position
- The actual visa application for your employee.
We handle all these steps for you – gathering documentation, preparing submissions, managing government communications, and monitoring the application through to approval. Our clients appreciate having one point of contact throughout the entire journey.
You can certainly handle the process yourself, just like you could do your own taxes or repair your own car. But most of our clients find that working with a specialist saves significant time, reduces stress, and minimizes the risk of costly refusals or delays.
Immigration requirements change frequently, and small mistakes can lead to significant consequences. Our expertise helps ensure you get it right the first time.
The costs include government fees, the Skilling Australians Fund levy (which varies based on your turnover and the visa duration), and our professional fees.
We’ll provide a comprehensive cost breakdown tailored to your specific circumstances after our initial assessment. This way, you’ll have complete clarity on the investment required with no surprises along the way.
In most cases, no – your employee needs to work in the specific role you’ve nominated, for your business or an associated entity. This is one of the most strictly enforced conditions. If circumstances change and you need to modify their role or have them work elsewhere, we’ll need to lodge a new nomination or visa application.
You’ll need to notify Immigration within 28 days if the employment ends. Your employee will then have 180 days to find a new sponsor, apply for a different visa, or leave Australia. There’s no penalty to your business if the separation is handled properly, but it’s important to fulfill your notification obligations.
We can guide you through this process to ensure you remain compliant.
Absolutely – this is quite common and often faster than bringing someone from overseas. You’ll need to become an approved sponsor (if you aren’t already) and lodge a new nomination for their position.
The employee can then apply for a new visa or transfer their existing one. We’ve helped many businesses successfully transfer skilled workers this way with minimal disruption to their employment.
For the most common pathway – the Temporary Residence Transition stream – they’ll need to work for you on a 482 visa for at least two years before becoming eligible. However, if they qualify under the Direct Entry stream, you could potentially sponsor them for permanent residency sooner or even immediately.
