An Employer Sponsored Visa requires an Australian employer to offer you a job and sponsor your Visa application.
The Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189), on the other hand, does not require sponsorship. Instead, applicants are assessed using a points system based on factors such as age, English language skills, qualifications, and work experience.
While the Subclass 189 Visa can be highly competitive, Employer Sponsored Visas provide another pathway for skilled workers who have support from an Australian employer.
