Settlement Guide: DO YOU WANT TO WORK IN AUSTRALIA? HOW TO APLLY FOR A 457 VISA...

The subclass 457 visa program allows skilled overseas workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. To apply is a three-stage process. Each year, the federal government receives over 50 thousand applications for the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa, known as subclass 457 visa. The program was designed to address labour shortages in Australia. It enables employers to bring in skilled workers from overseas when they cannot find skilled locals for the job.For more information on the Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL) and visa finder visit: www.border.gov.au
