Are you an employer?
Employing staff may not be straight forward when the employee is a holder of a visa other than a permanent visa. As an employer you may be subject to certain restrictions or may have missed a compliance requirement without knowing. This will not only affect the employee, and his or her family, but may also result in a serious fine and/or criminal charges against your company.
If you are finding it difficult to find the staff you need, you may consider sponsoring a worker. As it has become harder to source highly skilled local workers, the Australian Government has permitted companies to sponsor workers from overseas on both a short term and long term basis, in order to encourage industry growth.
Providing immigration advice to enable businesses to explore this opportunity is a key component of the migration services provided by Johnson Lawyers.
Immigration may also become relevant whilst dealing with employment issues, business mergers and other commercial dealings. At Johnson Lawyers we combine our experience as commercial lawyers with our services as a migrant agents to provide you with complete assistance in all matters.

As a Registered Migrant Agent, Mr Johnson and his team are required to comply with a Code of Conduct (as set out in Schedule 2 Regulation 8 Migration Agents Regulations 1998). You can obtain a copy of this Code here.
