WORKING IN AUSTRALIA
In order to legally work in Australia you must either :
be an Australian Citizen
or
be a Permanent Resident
or
have a valid work Visa.
Scott Merrick Associates has been a 'Standard Business Sponsor' (SBS) with the Australian 'Department of Immigration &
Multi-Cultural & Indigenous Affairs' (DIMIA) since May 1998. Since this date we have sponsored (thus employed)
many overseas ICT Professionals to work in Australia.
|
|
These Sponsees have been from all over the world including : England, Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada, South Africa, India
and Fiji.
SPONSORING CANDIDATES
Sponsoring overseas ICT Professionals is achieved via the 'Temporary Long Stay Business Visa Sub-Class 457'. Length of
sponsorship can vary from as little as 13 weeks to as long as 4 years. Successful sponsorship can only be achieved under
certain conditions, primarily when a key activity / position is in local demand and cannot be filled by a local ICT
Professional. Following this if the Candidates skill set
|
|
matches this local demand and a current ICT job requirement exists, then a Candidates availability and ability
to relocate to Australia are assessed and if all favourable then potentially this Candidate could be sponsored.
DETAILS OF
SPONSORSHIP PROCESS
When dealing with Candidates over 30 years and 11 months of age, that want to work in Australia, there are only two paths
available. You can either utilise a visa valid for up to 3 months (Short Stay Business Visa Sub-Class 456) or a visa valid
for over 3 months and up to 4 years
