Gain approved sponsor status and unlock access to skilled international workers for your business.
What is Standard Business Sponsorship?
Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) is the first step for any Australian employer wishing to sponsor overseas workers on a temporary basis. GO Access Law manages the entire SBS application process — assessing your eligibility, preparing the application, compiling required evidence, and liaising with the Department of Home Affairs. We also advise on whether a Labour Agreement may provide a better pathway for businesses in specific industries or with unique workforce needs, including DAMA arrangements for regional areas.
