Skilled Migration
Sponsored Skilled Migration – An Option for Regional Employers
The GSDC works closely with regional employers and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) to facilitate the granting of visas under the skilled sponsorship program.
As a DIAC Regional Certifying Body, the GSDC works with regional employers to coordinate sponsorships and nominations for the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme, the Regional 457 temporary business entrant, and the Occupational Trainee visa subclasses.
In 2007/08 the GSDC certified an average of four permanent and temporary skilled visa nominations per month. In the same year the GSDC responded to approximately forty requests for information per month from employers and from people already in Australia on visitor, temporary or working holiday visas.
The GSDC also acts as a point of contact for the State Government’s Skilled Migration Centre.
