What is a Labour Agreement and how can it assist an Australian employer?
Labour Agreements are legally binding agreements between an Australian employer or group of employers and the Australian Government.
These agreements are applicable if the standard employer-sponsored visa process is not available to your business and occupation is not on the current available skilled list for a subclass 482, 494 and 186 visa.
The agreements outline specific terms and conditions of employment for foreign workers, including their wages, job descriptions, and training requirements.
By filling skills gaps and contributing to the Australian economy, foreign workers are allowed to come and work in Australia temporarily.
Immigration law plays a crucial role in the Australian Labour Agreement process by ensuring that foreign workers are employed in positions where no suitable Australian workers are available. The law also promotes fair and equal treatment of both foreign and Australian workers in the workplace, protecting their rights.
Overall, Australian Labour Agreements and immigration law work together to provide a streamlined and fair process for employing foreign workers in Australia.
This process benefits not only employers and workers but also the economy as a whole.
There are four types of labour agreements:
- Company-Specific
- Industry-Specific
- Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA); and
- Project Agreements.
