First Checkpoint: Sponsor (Employer Sponsorship Approval)\nWhat is a Sponsor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A company applies to the Department of Home Affairs asking:\n\u201cAm I qualified to act as an employer sponsor for overseas workers?\u201d\n\nThis is a company-level assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">What Does the Department Assess?\n\nThe Department focuses on whether:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The business is legally registered and genuinely operating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The financial position is stable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The business has the capacity to employ staff on an ongoing basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is any history of non-compliant or unlawful employment practices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In one sentence:\nIs this a company that can be trusted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">What Does It Mean When Sponsor Is Approved?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The company is granted sponsorship status.\n\nThis does NOT mean a visa can be applied for yet.\n\nIt only means the company is now eligible to nominate a position<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">II. Second Checkpoint: Nomination (Position Nomination)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">What Is a Nomination?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Using its sponsorship approval, the employer nominates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A specific position, and\n\nA specific person to fill that position\n\nThe key words you must remember are:\nPosition + Person\uff0cThis is a position-level assessment, and even a small mismatch can lead to a direct refusal of the 482.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">What Does the Nomination Assess?
