A 407 training plan for chefs and cooks is a crucial document if you’re sponsoring international culinary professionals under Australia’s subclass 407 visa. At WIDEN Migration Experts, we specialise in crafting ANZSCO-aligned and AQF-mapped 407 training plans that meet Department of Home Affairs requirements with a proven 100% approval rate since 2018. Our MARA registered agent Keshab Chapagain (MARN 1576536) based in Campsie, Sydney, has assisted hundreds of hospitality businesses streamline their chef and cook sponsorship process.

What Is a 407 Training Plan for Chefs?

A 407 training plan is a formal document that outlines how your organisation will train an international chef or cook (ANZSCO code 351311) during their stay in Australia. The Department of Home Affairs requires this plan to ensure the nominee receives genuine structured training that delivers real skill development and knowledge transfer. For culinary professionals, this involves detailing kitchen operations, Australian food safety standards, menu development, ingredient sourcing, and advanced cooking techniques specific to Australian hospitality.

The 407 visa is a training visa designed to facilitate temporary skill development for overseas workers. Unlike permanent skilled migration visas, the 407 focuses on structured training delivered by Australian employers rather than permanent employment. Your training plan demonstrates commitment to developing the nominee’s capabilities and preparing them for either extended employment or return to their home country with enhanced expertise.

ANZSCO 351311 Chef Requirements

ANZSCO 351311 is the specific occupation code for chefs in Australia. This classification encompasses professionals who plan, organise, and direct food preparation operations in commercial kitchens. The role includes designing menus, managing kitchen staff, ensuring food safety compliance, controlling food costs, and maintaining high culinary standards.

Your 407 training plan must align with ANZSCO 351311 requirements, demonstrating how the nominee will develop competencies in:

  • Advanced food preparation and cooking techniques
  • Kitchen management and team supervision
  • Australian food safety regulations (Food Standards Code)
  • Cost control and kitchen operations management
  • Menu planning and culinary innovation
  • Workplace health and safety in food production

At WIDEN, each plan is meticulously AQF-mapped (Australian Qualifications Framework), ensuring training aligns with recognised Australian standards and potential future qualifications the nominee may pursue.

Pathway to Permanent Sponsorship (482 Nomination)

Many organisations using 407 training visas find that after the training period, exceptional nominees transition to permanent or longer-term sponsorship under the subclass 482 visa (Temporary Skill Shortage visa). If you’re considering this pathway, understanding nomination requirements early is beneficial.

WIDEN also specialises in 482 nomination documents and labour market testing (LMT), ensuring your transition from 407 training to 482 sponsorship is seamless. The training period provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the nominee’s capability and commitment before nominating them for a more permanent visa arrangement.
