Visa sponsorship pathways

Australia needs more healthcare professionals than it can train locally. MedAxis supports overseas-trained nurses, doctors and allied health professionals, and the employers who hire them, to understand and navigate the skilled visa and sponsorship options.

Subclass 407 – Training

Temporary visa for workplace-based training or supervised clinical placements, often used by overseas-trained doctors and nurses on the way to full registration.

Subclass 482 – Skills in Demand

Employer-sponsored temporary visa for occupations on the Core Skills list, including most nursing, medical and allied health roles.

186

Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination

Permanent employer-sponsored visa, available directly or after time on a 482 visa. The most common permanent pathway for sponsored healthcare staff.
