The Subclass 457 Visa enables employers to sponsor overseas workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis in nominated skilled positions.
Not only does this visa allow applicants to work within Australia for between three (3) months to four (4) years, but it also allows eligibility for a secondary applicant to travel with them to work or study.
If you are interested in applying for work with Merit Partners in Darwin please have a look at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website to determine the requirements in order to obtain a Temporary Business (Long Stay) – Standard Business Sponsorship (Subclass 457) Visa.
"The opportunity that the 457 visa provided me and my wife has been life changing! The initial idea of just having an overseas work experience and then returning to my country has completely changed after I realised how much I enjoyed living in Australia, particularly in tropical Darwin, with its great people, sunsets and relaxed atmosphere."
"Working at Merit Partners has not only given me the opportunity to further develop my professional skills but also to visit and experience different cities around Australia and other countries in the region such as Indonesia and East Timor. Merit Partners has given me the enriching experience of working with people of diverse cultures and backgrounds."
"Settling in Darwin was much easier than I expected. The range of outdoor activities, sports and cultural life makes Darwin a great place to live."
"If you want to relocate to Australia for a life work balance and a change in lifestyle or you just want to come here for an overseas experience, Merit Partners is the place to be."
"And last but not least…. I don't have to wear ties anymore!"
