Visa đào tạo nghề

Visit Australia to do workplace-based training to improve your skills for your:

• current occupation
• area of tertiary study
• field of expertise.

You can also use this visa to complete a professional development training program. This visa is not for ongoing work in Australia.

The Training visa is not intended to be used to fill workforce shortages. All work undertaken in Australia must be paid. You can find information on required minimum wages at the Fair Work Ombudsman website.

We must have approved your sponsor as a temporary activities sponsor.

Unless your sponsor is an Australian Commonwealth Government agency, they must also submit a nomination for you. We must approve this nomination before you can apply for your visa.

Nomination is the stage where the sponsor gives us details about:

• the intended trainee they want to nominate – the nominee, you
• details of the training, including the purpose or type of training
• how and where the training will happen.

If your sponsor is an Australian Commonwealth Government agency you do not need a nomination. We must have approved the agency’s sponsorship application before you can apply for your visa.

Nomination requirements are different depending on the purpose or type of training.

There are 3 types of occupational training covered by this visa:

• Occupational training required for registration
• Occupational training to improve skills in an eligible occupation
• Occupational training for capacity building overseas. This includes overseas qualification, government support or professional development.

Changing sponsors

If you decide to train with another organisation while you are in Australia, that organisation needs to sponsor you. They must also submit a new nomination for you.

When we approve the new nomination you can do occupational training with that organisation for the time left on your visa.

You do not have to apply for a new visa if you continue to do the training program we approved your visa for. If your training program changes, you will need to apply for a new visa when we approve the new nomination.

Changing activity/occupation with the same sponsor

If you stay with the same sponsor but change your training program, your sponsor must submit a new nomination for you about the new training program. If we approve the nomination, you will then need to submit a new visa application.

If your sponsor ends your training, you must tell us. You may try to find another organisation to sponsor you.

Be mindful of scams

Beware of visa scams. Make sure you know the conditions of the visa that you apply for, even if someone else submits the application for you. For more information see Visa scams.
