Where businesses usually start

Most employers come to us at one of a few clear points in the sponsorship process.

First-time sponsor

You've found the right candidate but have never sponsored before and aren't sure what the obligations actually involve.

Existing sponsor

You're already approved but need a nomination prepared and lodged correctly and on time for a new hire.

Compliance review

You want an independent second opinion on whether your current sponsorship obligations are being met properly.

Sponsorship doesn't always
go to plan

Most advice you'll read online assumes everything goes smoothly. We've worked closely with employers in the trades and automotive sector long enough to know it often doesn't — and that's exactly when good advice matters most.

01

A sponsored worker leaves before their visa tenure ends

Whether by resignation, dismissal, or circumstances outside your control, an early departure raises real questions about your ongoing sponsor obligations, reporting requirements to the Department, and what it means for any future sponsorship. We help you understand your position and respond correctly — without panic.

02

The role or the fit isn't working out, despite the sponsorship investment

Sponsoring a worker is a significant commitment of time and cost, and it's understandably difficult when performance or fit doesn't match expectations after the fact. We advise on your options honestly — including what can and cannot be changed once a nomination is in place — rather than telling you what you want to hear.

03

You're not sure if your business still qualifies as an approved sponsor

Changes in turnover, structure, or trading conditions can affect your sponsorship status without you realising it. We review your position and flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a compliance issue.

We understand what this
costs a small business

A large share of our employer clients are small to medium operators — workshops, panel shops, regional businesses — not large corporates with in-house HR and legal teams.

Sponsorship is a genuine investment, not a formality

Between government charges, the Skilling Australians Fund levy, and professional fees, sponsoring a single overseas worker is a meaningful financial commitment for a small business — often made at a time when you're already stretched covering the role internally.

We take that seriously. Our initial consultation is about understanding your situation properly first — what you actually need, what it will cost, and whether the timing makes sense for your business — before any formal engagement begins No pressure to commit on the spot, and no advice that ignores the size of the decision you're making.

Before you enquire

Is this consultation confidential?

Do you help find candidates to sponsor?

Yes — Orbit Migration Advisory provides comprehensive support including candidate sourcing, recruitment configurations, and migration validation processing parameters contextually.

Do you guarantee visa or nomination approval?

No. Visa and nomination decisions are made solely by the Department of Home Affairs. We focus on preparing the strongest possible application based on an honest assessment of your circumstances.

What does the initial consultation cost?

This will be confirmed with you directly before any work begins. There is no cost or obligation simply for making an enquiry.
