Are you an employer trying to bring skilled employees from overseas? Or, do you want to migrate to Australia to work in a skilled occupation or establish a business? If so, we can help.
All visas for entry to Australia are issued by the Australian Government through the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). Every migrant is subject to DIAC’s policies and procedures. You should confirm your eligibility to migrate on DIAC’s website or seek advice from a registered migration agent.
If your business is in Canberra and you are looking to employ a skilled migrant, the ACT Government as the local Regional Certifying Body (RCB) can help.
