How we take the stress out of your application
Matilda and employer
We take care of the technical details such as labour market testing evidence and genuine position statements and set you up for a quick and easy turnaround. You provide us with the required information relevant to your business and the position you need to fill and we do the rest.
Matilda and candidate
We start by assessing eligibility of your candidate and letting you know whether they possess the necessary skills, sufficient relevant work experience and acceptable level of English. We then guide them on what needs to be done and work with them directly to make sure a successful application is made as efficiently as possible.
Candidate and employer
There are key aspects to be worked out between you and the candidate throughout the process - the sponsorship application, nomination application and visa applications must all align. We’ll coordinate the applications so everything is consistent.
We’re all in this together
We ensure there is transparent communication between all of us from start to grant so everyone knows where we are in the process at any given time. At the same time confidentiality on business and personal matters is ensured as we engage both employer and candidate as separate clients.
Applying for a employer sponsored visa with Matilda
Here’s the step-by-step of what to expect when you work with us. You can also alternate between your view and what your employee will experience with us:
1. You’d like to sponsor a candidate to work in your business
Your top candidate needs a visa with work rights in Australia and you need them to get started as soon as possible.
2. Understand which visa is the right fit for your business
We will guide you on which visa is the right fit for you and the candidate and make it easier for you to plan staffing levels and budget.
3. Ensure that you have the right to Sponsor them
Where necessary, we will help you get Government approval to become a sponsor and where possible get you accredited status to make the process quicker and easier each time you sponsor.
4. Check the candidate’s eligibility
We will assess your candidate’s experience and skills to ensure they are eligible and provide guidance on the minimum levels of qualification, work experience and English language ability needed for each position you may wish to nominate.
5. We’ll build the Standard Business Sponsorship, Nomination and Visa applications for you
We’ll create the Sponsorship, Nomination and Visa applications so they meet the Government requirements for sponsorship. We’ll also do the hard work for you including the Genuine Position Statement, Labour Market Testing, Skills Assessment and Police Checks.
6. Final review and lodgement
Our Registered Migration Agent will do the final review before lodgement, submit the applications and liaise with the department until the grant of the visa.
7. Receive post lodgement support
We will work with the Department to respond immediately to any requests for further information, and work with you to ensure you remain compliant with all sponsor obligations so that you avoid any issues with departmental monitoring or audits.

To sponsor an employee in Australia you will need to cover a number of costs including:
Remember that these costs are not refundable, even if the application is rejected.
Application processing times vary significantly between different types of visas. Processing times are managed by the Australian Department of Home Affairs and can change frequently.
As of May 2024, the average processing time for sponsorship under the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482) is 50% of applicants processed within eight days and 90% processed within four months.

Not necessarily. While an Employer Sponsored visa could be a good option for your employee, it’s not the only one. In fact, there are over 40 visa options for working in Australia and dozens more visa types that also grant the holder working rights in Australia.
It all depends on your employee’s individual circumstances. Our team can help your employee select the right visa for them while also accounting for factors that may impact your business e.g. visa processing time.
