Australia’s Training and Research Visa (402) enables businesses to sponsor people to take part in temporary, structured, workplace-based training that will enhance the applicant’s skills in their current occupation, area of tertiary study or field of expertise.
If your business would like to sponsor someone for a Training and Research Visa (402) under the Occupational Trainee and Research Stream, you’ll first need to be approved as a Training and Research sponsor.
What’s the process?
To gain approval as a sponsor, your business will need to demonstrate that it is:
- Either an Australian organisation lawfully operating in Australia, a foreign government agency, or a government agency that is a tertiary or educational institution or intending to engage in occupational training
- Lawfully operating in Australia and has a good business record abiding by Australian laws
- Able to comply with sponsorship obligations
If approved, your Training and Research Sponsorship will be valid for up to 3 years.
