Strategic Support for Australian Employer Sponsorship

Labor Market Testing (LMT) Assistance

Compliance is Key

Labor Market Testing (LMT) is a mandatory requirement for employers seeking to sponsor overseas workers under various temporary and regional skilled visa programs. The Australian government requires definitive proof that no suitable local Australian worker was found to fill the nominated position.

The rules governing LMT are exceptionally rigid, covering specific advertising platforms, mandatory durations, and exact content requirements. A minor oversight in the recruitment period or ad wording can result in an immediate nomination refusal with no refund of the Skilling Australians Fund (SAF) levy. We ensure your recruitment process is bulletproof.
