Compliance and Monitoring
Sponsorship approval is the start of your obligations, not the end of them. Businesses that sponsor overseas workers must keep specific records, notify the Department of Home Affairs when certain events occur, pay particular costs, and cooperate fully with inspectors — and some of these obligations continue for up to five years after the sponsorship ceases. The Department monitors sponsors throughout, whether by writing to request records, visiting your premises with or without notice, or exchanging information with agencies like the Fair Work Ombudsman and the ATO. Failing to meet an obligation is serious: it can lead to civil or criminal sanctions, a bar on future sponsorship, and cancellation of the sponsored visas under your sponsorship. We work alongside your HR and mobility teams to keep your obligations in order year-round, and a dedicated Registered Migration Agent stays across your position so a routine monitoring check never becomes a crisis.
What is included
We review your visa holder population and sponsorship record-keeping against your legal obligations, so you know exactly where you stand and can fix any gaps before the Department finds them.
When the Department writes to request records or conducts a site visit, we prepare your evidence and manage the response, so you meet the request accurately, on time, and without panic.
If your business faces a bar on sponsorship or a cancellation action, we advise on your position and put forward the strongest possible response on your behalf.
Obligations run both ways. We advise your sponsored employees on the conditions attached to their visas, helping the whole arrangement stay compliant.
