Subclass 407 Training Visa
Sponsorship, nomination, and visa applications. We work with businesses, migration agents, and skilled workers.
The Subclass 407 is for structured workplace training in Australia. It's a three-step process — sponsorship, nomination (with Training Plan), and visa application — and we provide services across all three stages.

How the 407 process works
Sponsorship
The business applies to become an approved Temporary Activities Sponsor.
Employer's obligation. Employer pays.
Nomination
The business nominates a specific role for a specific person. The Training Plan sits here.
Employer's obligation. Employer or their agent pays.
Visa Application
The worker applies for the 407 visa after nomination is approved.
Worker's application. Worker pays.
The Training Plan is a nomination-stage document and is a legal obligation of the employer. The worker cannot legally pay for it because it must demonstrate the employer's genuine training commitment.
March 2026 sequential lodgement rules
From 11 March 2026, the three stages must be lodged sequentially. Sponsorship must be approved before nomination can be lodged. Nomination must be approved before the visa application can be lodged. End-to-end processing now takes approximately 9–12 months. Reference: Migration Amendment (Training Visas—Sponsorship Requirements) Regulations 2026.

Enquire about visa applicationCommon 407 occupations and structured training requirements
The 407 visa is for occupational training that is structured, supervised, and demonstrably tied to a specific occupation.
- Trades (e.g., chef, electrician, mechanic, plumber)
- Professional roles where structured workplace training will close a clear skills gap (e.g., engineering, IT, healthcare professionals adapting to Australian workplace requirements)
- Workplace-based training in industries with skills shortages
- Training to enhance qualifications obtained overseas
The training must be structured (with weekly schedules, supervision, and progression), genuine (the role must require the training), and tied to a specific occupation. Training Plans that look like "shadowing" or general work experience face high refusal risk.
The nominated workplace trainer or supervisor must have demonstrated expertise in the occupation being taught — typically through formal qualifications (Certificate IV or higher) and relevant industry experience. Training Plans with unqualified or unidentified trainers are commonly refused.

What we can and cannot do
We cannot guarantee outcomes. No migration agent legally can. This is a requirement of section 15 of the Code of Conduct.
We do not assist with sham training arrangements. Training Plans must demonstrate genuine, structured, supervised training tied to a specific occupation.
Training Plans we draft comply with Migration Regulations 2.72A(15)(b) and 2.72B(3)(a), which set the standards for genuine occupational training tied to the nominee's nominated occupation.
We provide migration advice only after a paid initial consultation under section 43 of the Code of Conduct, with a service agreement issued before any further work (section 42).
Our fees are professional fees only. Government application charges, biometric fees, health checks, and other Home Affairs charges are separate and paid directly to the Department.
