Visa and Sponsorship Information

Securing quality staff locally is becoming increasingly difficult.  Bayside, an approved Sub-Class 457 Visa sponsor of skilled professionals. has the ability to on-hire skilled workers to clients for flexible project-based employment.

We already have a number of clients that are successfully using this procedure to fill skill gaps in their workforce on a contract basis and with demand for skilled professionals at an all time high, there is a distinct advantage in using Bayside to supply overseas workers where the skills are not available in the local market.

We have almost two decades of experience in international recruitment, and will provide the following:

  • Managed ‘risk' solutions - we handle all contractual and immigration issues with the on-hired worker, responsible for accommodation, medical coverage, insurance, and the cost of return travel for the employee.
  • Effective sponsorship - our strong relationships with overseas industry associations and educational institutions allows for the authentication of qualifications and work experience.
  • Efficient sponsorship - our close working relationships with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), government bodies and industry associations means efficient visa processing complying with all government regulations.
  • Support and benefits for candidates - our international consultants are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and as part of a candidate's salary package, we offer eligible candidates ‘Living Away from Home Allowance'.
  • Flexibility for project based employment - you have access to a greater talent pool of skilled workers who we can sponsor between six (6) months to four (4) years and can on-hire workers to businesses for any length of time.

"More than 80% of Bayside candidates receive 457 visa sponsorship between 1-2 weeks"
