AUSTRALIAN SKILLED SPONSORED VISA.
The Skilled Sponsored visa is a permanent work visa for individuals who have the qualifications or skills that are needed by the Australian economy, but cannot meet the pass mark required to obtain a Skilled Independent visa.
Successful applicants and holders of an Australian Skilled Sponsored visa become permanent residents of Australia. Australian permanent residents are entitled to live, work and study in Australia on a permanent basis. Additional benefits of Australian permanent residence include access to government-subsidised healthcare (Medicare), certain social security benefits and the ability to apply for Australian citizenship.
Skilled Sponsored visa applicants are required to obtain a minimum of 100 points on a points assessment and must either obtain sponsorship from an eligible relative living in Australia or nomination from a participating State or Territory government. The assessment is such that applicants are required to be under 45 years of age and be able to demonstrate that they have a qualification or the skills of an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
SKILLED SPONSORED VISA BASIC REQUIREMENTS.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has set specific basic requirements that all applicants must meet in order to apply for a visa in the General Skilled Migration program.
