Employer Nomination Scheme (Australia)

The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) in Australia allows employers to sponsor skilled workers from overseas for permanent residence. Employers must demonstrate they need the worker’s skills and that the position is genuine. The process involves the employer obtaining approval first, then the worker applying for a visa to live and work permanently in Australia. This scheme helps Australian businesses attract qualified talent from abroad, supporting economic growth and filling skill shortages in specific industries. It’s a pathway for skilled workers to become permanent residents while contributing to the Australian workforce.
