Overview
Australia Subclass 407
The Subclass 407 Training Visa allows overseas professionals to travel to Australia for structured, workplace-based training — either to develop skills for their current occupation, complete professional development training, or undertake occupational training through a registered training organisation. Unlike Australia’s points-tested skilled visas, the Subclass 407 doesn’t require employer sponsorship for permanent work; instead, it’s tied to an approved training program run by a sponsoring business, professional association, or government agency.
The visa is issued under three streams — Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Labour Agreement — depending on the occupation and the employer’s sponsorship arrangement. The Medium-Term stream and Labour Agreement stream can, in many cases, provide a pathway toward permanent residency after a qualifying period of employment, while the Short-Term stream is generally more limited in this respect.

Do I need a job offer to apply for the Subclass 482 visa?
Yes. The Subclass 482 requires nomination by an approved Australian business sponsor for a genuine, eligible skilled occupation — a confirmed job offer and sponsorship are essential.
Does the Subclass 482 lead to permanent residency?
It can. The Medium-Term and Labour Agreement streams generally offer a pathway to permanent residency after a qualifying period of employment with your sponsor. The Short-Term stream is more limited in this respect. We’ll confirm which stream applies to your occupation during your consultation.
Can my family join me on a Subclass 482 visa?
Yes. Your spouse and dependent children can generally be included in your application, allowing your family to relocate together.
What happens if I change employers while on a Subclass 482 visa?
Your visa is generally tied to your sponsoring employer and nominated occupation. Changing employers usually requires a new nomination and, in some cases, a new visa application — we can guide you through this process if your circumstances change.
