482 Visa Sponsorship

International Recruitment Services for Employers

Bayside Group engages and on-hires international talent on behalf of Australian employers. We are one of the few Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482) - sponsors approved by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).


Please note, this service is for employers only – if you’re looking for sponsorship in Australia, ask your potential employer to get in touch. 

Why use our 482 Sponsorship Services?

Overseas professionals can be an effective solution for specialist skill gaps, yet many employers are not approved as a Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) and don’t wish to take on Australia’s complex immigration laws.


Whether you have identified talent from overseas, or simply need talent that you can’t currently find in Australia, we help employers by sponsoring professionals on your behalf.โ€ฏ 


We’ve helped organisations by sponsoring hundreds of professionals on this program since our first Labour Agreement with the Australian government. 

 

By using Bayside Group to sponsor international professionals through the temporary skill shortage (Subclass 482) program, you can:โ€ฏ 

 

  • Access skilled professional you're unable to source locallyโ€ฏ 


  • Engage a worker without the need for your own Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)โ€ฏ 


  • Outsource recruitment, mobilisation, engagement and ongoing managementโ€ฏ 

 

Once professionals arrive in Australia, we have systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance and support. 

Tell us about the permanent staff you’re looking for.

This form is for employers only.โ€ฏIf you’re looking to migrate to Australia, you’ll need to search for jobs open to international applications, or contact an Australian migration agent.

Access to Global Skills

The Skills in Demand temporary visa lets an employer sponsor a suitably skilled worker to fill a position they can’t find a suitably skilled Australian to fill.


If you have identified someone from overseas to fill this gap, or require us to source an individual, we can help by sponsoring professionals on your behalf. 

 

By using Bayside Group to sponsor international professionals through on a 482 visa, you can: 

  • Access skilled professional you're unable to source locally 
  • Engage a worker without the need for your own Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) 
  • Outsource recruitment, mobilisation, engagement and ongoing management 


Once professionals arrive in Australia, we have systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance and support. As stringent rules apply, we work with employers to determine whether a particular role will qualify.

Key requirements of 482 Sponsorship

This program is designed for employers who have a demonstrated need to fill a position and are unable to source the right skill sets from the Australian labour market. 


Our experienced team will work through the labour market testing process to demonstrate that a suitable candidate is not available in Australia. Candidates must also: 


  • Have sufficient skills to perform services in Australia 
  • Hold relevant professional licences or registration 
  • Be paid a minimum temporary skilled migration income threshold (TSMIT), plus 20% *
  • Meet the English language and health requirements 
  • Clear police checks for all countries the visa applicant has resided in (for 12 months or more) over the last 10 years 


* This is close to $90,000 as of 2025, but may change so check the Home Affairs website for the latest information.


Once an offer is made, we’ll manage the candidate's nomination and visa application and take care of all the contractual paperwork. 

Experience matters

Bayside Group has a rich history of sourcing and recruiting international professional talent on working visas to address specific skill gaps in Australia. We have sourced and relocated experienced professionals from more than 45 countries. 


Our processing team is skilled in assisting candidates with travel documents, visas, and passports, and where necessary, we work with migration agents to provide additional assistance. The support we offer throughout the sourcing, recruitment, engagement and workforce management process ensures a high retention and success rate
