Labour agreements enable approved businesses to sponsor overseas workers when there is a demonstrated need that cannot be met in the Australian labour market and standard temporary or permanent migration arrangements are not appropriate.
\n\nLabour agreements are developed between the Australian Government, represented by the Department, and employers. They are generally in effect for three years and might have additional terms and conditions, because labour agreements provide a variation to standard migration requirements.
\n\n
\n\nEmployers are required to have made recent, genuine efforts to recruit, employ or engage Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents. They are also required to consult or make genuine efforts to consult industry stakeholders, including relevant trade unions and peak industry bodies when developing their agreement. Labour agreements are the only migration pathway for semi-skilled labour.
