Gaining A Sponsorship Visa From My Centre

[Jolene Nguyen]

Hi,

Im holding student visa at the moment and employed to work in a new opened centre last month. They asked me if im after sponsorship when I finish my diploma course ( this December) before I came in for an interviewed and offered me casual job ( 20hrs/w) then.The Director said she can give me sponsorship after I worked there 1 week and Im over the moon now. But im not sure about what I need to do to apply for a sponsorship visa, the centre will help me do it or I need to apply myself? what i need to prepare , what documents? Is there anyone did that before can give me some advices please?
Thanks!!!

If I'm not mistaken, I think your employer should be the one doing this. They should apply to DIAC to be a sponsor for overseas worker. It's the 457 visa.
Definitely check out the immigration website. Congratulations and best of luck!

Here is some information on the Visa (457). It will give you information on the documents you needs, what you need to do etc.

Congrats! I'm actually willing to study diploma as well but I thought I wouldn't be able to get any sponsorship unless I study a bachelor degree? Is that true?! Can anyone recommend me what is better?!

If you are in Sydney im no sure you can get a sponsor with only a diploma
