Employer sponsorship planning

Hiring a sponsored skilled worker? Start with the role, not the visa guess.

A safer hiring sequence

Build the employment brief before deciding whether sponsorship is viable.

1. Define the role. Record the actual occupation, duties, work location, worker count and start timing.2. Set genuine employment terms. Add the employment type, roster and a realistic pay range before trying to match candidates.3. Record required credentials. List licences, registrations, tickets or qualifications the role genuinely requires.4. Check current Home Affairs rules. Confirm the occupation and proposed visa pathway against official current criteria before making promises to a candidate.5. Submit for private matching. Check My Money can receive the employer job request for review without publishing private worker contact or credential data.

Official visa comparison

Use Home Affairs for the visa decision.

The Department of Home Affairs currently compares employer-sponsored skilled-worker pathways including Skills in Demand (subclass 482), Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) (subclass 494). Requirements differ by visa, occupation, location and applicant circumstances.

Occupation check

Do not assume a job title is sponsorable.

Home Affairs maintains the skilled occupation list and shows which occupations are associated with particular skilled visa pathways. Check the current occupation entry and any caveats rather than relying on a similar-sounding job title.

Check My Money Jobs boundary

Recruitment support stays separate from visa sponsorship.

Check My Money Jobs can collect an employer's role requirements and privately match relevant worker profiles after review. It does not make visa eligibility decisions, employ the worker or become the visa sponsor. In V1 the employer hires and pays the worker directly.

Worker phone numbers, emails and private licence or ticket details are not published in a public worker directory. An employer submission does not automatically expose worker contact details or start matching.
