people thinking of sponsouring overseas technician
Fri, 15 Mar 2002, 04:19 pmI thought this information may be helpful to overseas technical crew looking for work in Australia or employers looking for overseas technicians and specifically sponsourship for employment in Australia.
I have recently tried to sponsor an employee from overseas, who has a great knowledge and skills, benificial to the Australian industry.
It seems that the department of immigration see our industry as unworthy of sponsourship.
Under their guidelines to gain sponsorship, which lists various areas of production and entertainment crew, the crew are more likely to be accepted if they are on a specific show or tour. If not they may not be accepted.
Be-ware this is a very costly excersise for any employers thinking of sponsouring an overseas technician.
Overseas technicians may have short term casual work, however their employees must submit copies of their passport and visas to the Australian taxation office.
