The Subclass 407 Training Visa helps individuals improve their skills through workplace-based training. This training could be for professional registration or skill development. While this visa doesn’t address labor shortages, it allows you to work for the sponsoring organization while training. This means you can work and upskill at the same time!

If you want to come to Australia for training and upskilling, this visa is likely suitable for you.

To apply for the Training Visa, you must meet general character and health requirements. You’ll also need a business sponsor approved to nominate you for training. First, find a business in your field that agrees to sponsor you. After they agree, you can start the process of obtaining the sponsorship approval.

Once the business is approved as a sponsor, they will submit an application and related documents to the Department of Home Affairs. The next step is nomination. If the business nominates you successfully, you’ll choose the most suitable visa stream. The three streams are:

Ideal for those with recent qualifications or experience in their field. The business must design an Individually Structured Training Programme, which must be submitted to the Department of Home Affairs. This stream offers targeted, specialized training.

For those who wish to come to Australia for professional development training. For example, an applicant may need to complete an internship as part of their qualification. This stream supports Australia’s commitment to educating and training people from other nations.

Suited for those who need registration or licensure for their occupation. This stream is only available for professions that require licensing in Australia or the applicant’s country of origin.

The average global processing time for applications can vary as eligibility assessment is done on a case-by-case basis and depends on the applicant’s circumstances. Factors that can affect the processing time of your visa applications include the time taken by external agencies, such as health and police services, and the Government to conduct checks and provide supporting information. However, you can ensure a faster processing time by lodging a complete application with all necessary supporting documents and promptly responding to any additional information the Department requests.
