I recommend you are aware of the employers responsibility before continuing the process and ensure you abide by the immigration laws;

It is a criminal offence to "knowingly or recklessly" hire an illegal worker either as an employee or as a contractor. Anyone convicted of this offence can face a fine of up to $13,200 or two year’s imprisonment as an individual or fines of $66,000 if it is a company that commits the offence.

This information is an extract from the training course presented to many businesses in Australia. If you have any questions or would like to contact a company that provides these immigration services please just use the contact us form on the right side of the page.

Having all the info in one

Having all the info in one site is great. I wished I had these info when I migrated to Australia many years ago. Well done Kelvin. Pls keep us informed as you find out more options.

Kelvin - This is great

This is great information. Given the low unemployment rate (great for workers, bad for employees!) we all need to look at creative ways to get our work done. This concept of Nearshoring sounds like an interesting alternative to the usual hiring (and firing!). Thanks for showing all the options in one place.
