The 482 visa, explained
The Skills in Demand visa is Australia's main employer-sponsored pathway for skilled overseas workers. Here's what you should know.
Find roles you qualify forEmployer-sponsored
The 482 Skills in Demand visa lets an approved Australian business employ you in a genuine vacancy they cannot fill locally.
Up to 4 years
Stay for up to 4 years depending on your occupation and stream, with a pathway to extend while your employer remains approved.
Family included
Bring your partner and dependent children. They can usually live, study and work in Australia for the length of your visa.
Hiring from overseas?
List your vacancy to candidates who are pre-screened, qualification-matched and genuinely ready to relocate. We help you understand your sponsorship obligations and connect with migration-registered advisers.
- Post a sponsorship-ready role in minutes
- Reach a global talent pool actively seeking Australian roles
- Stay compliant with sponsor obligations
"We filled two hard-to-staff nursing roles in regional Victoria within eight weeks of listing. The candidates arrived sponsorship-ready and already understood the process."

Frequently asked questions
What is the 482 visa?+
The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) lets approved Australian employers sponsor skilled overseas workers for roles they cannot fill from the local labour market. You must work in your nominated occupation for your sponsor.
Do I need work experience to qualify?+
Most occupations require at least 1–2 years of relevant work experience plus a qualification or registration that matches the occupation's listing — for example AHPRA registration for nurses.
Does it cost me money to be sponsored?+
The employer pays the sponsorship fees and the Skilling Australians Fund levy. Be wary of anyone asking you to pay for a job offer — legitimate sponsors never charge candidates for sponsorship.
Can this visa lead to permanent residency?+
Yes. Many 482 holders move to permanent employer-sponsored visas after working for their sponsor, subject to occupation, age and English requirements at the time.
