Immigration & Visas
Lawyers help with employer-sponsored, skilled and business visas.
They advise both employers and applicants on sponsorship, nomination and eligibility requirements.
Skilled visas give workers a pathway to live in Australia and give employers access to talent they can't find locally.
The Skills in Demand visa replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage visa in December 2024. Permanent skilled pathways include employer nomination and points-tested visas, with state nomination programs varying by state.

Understand the next step
Identify the proposed occupation, sponsorship or business pathway and current status. Requirements and available pathways should be checked at the time of advice.
Ask which tasks belong to the applicant, sponsor and adviser and how their interests are managed.
Gather identity documents, visa records, decision letters and application history. Confirm who will give the advice and their scope of work.
Ask which requirements and evidence need assessment, including translations or reports. No provider can guarantee the application outcome.
Agree who receives correspondence and tracks requests. Keep a complete copy of lodged material and understand what you approve before submission.
Separate professional fees from government charges, translations and other expenses. Preparing an application does not necessarily include a review or court proceeding.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Provide expiry dates and the entire decision letter immediately. Review rights and dates depend on the particular decision and circumstances.

Good to know
Possibly, if the occupation and business meet the requirements of an employer-sponsored visa.
Both can prepare and lodge visa applications. For refusals, cancellations and court appeals, or where there are criminal or character issues, an immigration lawyer is usually the better choice.
Many refusals can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal, but strict and short deadlines apply. Get advice as soon as you receive the decision.
