Immigration to UK
Employment Visa:
The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) allows Australian employers
to fill highly skilled positions in Australia, with a non-Australian
citizen or resident, when the employer:
Cannot find suitably qualified person from the Australian labor
markets, and
Is unable to provide for their staffing needs through their existing
training program
The ENS process consists of 2 distinct parts:
The first applies to the assessment of the nomination lodged by
an employer; and
The second applies to the assessment of your nominee’s application
for visa
Nominations are assessed against the following min criteria:
The employer must demonstrate need for a paid employee in business
located in Australia and operated by the nominating employer
The vacancy requires an appointment of highly skilled person who
has completed 3 years of formal training or equivalent experience.
The employer must offer a full-time, fixed term appointment of at
least 3 years which does not include the possibility of renewal
The employer must have a satisfactory training record or, if a new
business, must make satisfactory provision for future training
The employer must meet the Labor Market requirements and
The terms and conditions of employment offered must be in accordance
with the standards for wages and working conditions provided for
under relevant Australian Industrial Laws
An employer must show that they have been unable to find an Australian
citizen or resident who is suitable for the appointment. An employer
must provide documentary evidence of having tested the labor market
before nominating an overseas employee. Labor market testing must
occur within 6 months of lodgment of the nomination.
A decision on the nomination will be made on the basis of the information
provided, your circumstances and the legal processing requirements
in place when the application is lodged and the charge paid.
The applicant will be advised in writing whether your nomination
has been approved or not. The letter will explain the steps your
nominee will need to follow to obtain their visa.
