In Australia, a Company Specific Labour Agreement refers to a negotiated agreement between an Australian Company and the Australian Government. It is a tailored arrangement that allows a company to sponsor overseas workers for specific occupations that may not be covered under standard visa programs.

Through our specialised collaborations we are able to assist Organisations with the process.

Some Benefits of a Company Specific Labour Agreement.

Access to Niche Skills: It allows businesses to hire overseas workers with specialised skills that may not be readily available within the local labour market. This enables companies to fill critical positions and address skills shortages effectively.

Tailored Recruitment: Employers can have more control over their recruitment process by specifying the required qualifications, experience and skills for the overseas workers. This customisation ensures that the selected candidates are well-suited to meet the needs of the business.

Priority Processing: Under a Company Specific Labour Agreement, employers often receive priority processing of visa applications for their sponsored workers. This can significantly reduce processing times, allowing businesses to expedite the hiring process and meet their workforce requirements more efficiently.

Flexibility in Visa Requirements: Companies can negotiate concessions to standard visa requirements. This flexibility can include considerations such as English language proficiency, age, salary thresholds, and work experience criteria, making it easier to hire and retain skilled overseas workers.

Long-Term Retention: By providing a pathway to permanent residency, a Company Specific Labour Agreement offers overseas workers the opportunity to establish a long-term career within the organisation. This can enhance employee retention, as workers are more likely to commit to a company that offers stability and potential for career progression.

If you are an Organisation with a shortage of skilled workers and are looking for assistance with a Company Specific Labour Agreement and gaining access to a large pool of highly skilled and dedicated workers, AusPath Agency have the team you need.

Nursing is a rewarding and important profession. Each year, millions of Australians rely on them to help get the treatments and medical care that they need. In many cases, nurses do much of the heavy lifting when it comes to providing services to patients including administering prescription medication, providing personal hygiene care, and making after-care recommendations. Because of the sensitive nature of the job, mistakes or errors could result in dangerous consequences.
