Sponsor obligations and work rights checks carry real penalties, and Home Affairs can monitor your compliance. Our checklist will help you find and close gaps before an inspector does.
Step 1: Scope, Ownership and Risk Triage
☐ Map Your Sponsored Workforce
Have you listed every sponsored worker, with their visa subclass, nominated occupation, work location, visa expiry date and visa conditions?
You may want to seek legal advice if:
- you are unsure whether each worker is still performing their nominated role
- sponsored workers are placed with clients or engaged through labour hire arrangements
- you operate a group structure and are unsure which entity is the approved sponsor
☐ Assign Ownership and Governance
