As lawyers, we are qualified to handle things migration agents are unable to assist with — legal advice, appeals, refusals and complex issues and at GM Migration Lawyers, we are much more than just legal experts, we are passionate and genuinely care about helping you build your future in Australia.
We assist individuals and businesses with all types of employer sponsored visas, including:
Skills in Demand (subclass 482) Visa, (previously known as the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa) – Core Skills, Specialist Skills and Labour Agreement streams
We help workers:
We help employers:
Whether you are an employee with a job offer or an employer looking to fill a skilled role, we will make the process smooth, efficient, and compliant.
At GM Migration Lawyers, we help you move forward — with confidence, not confusion.
Whether you are an employer trying to fill a skills gap or a worker with a job offer in Australia, employer sponsored migration is not just a matter of ticking boxes — it is a legal process with strict rules, tight deadlines and serious compliance risks.
From sponsorship approval and nomination requirements to salary thresholds and labour market testing, one oversight can derail the entire application — or result in future issues for both the employer and the sponsored worker.
At GM Migration Lawyers, we are qualified Australian lawyers — not just migration agents. We provide strategic, end-to-end legal support for both employers and skilled workers navigating the subclass 482, 186, and 494 visa streams.
Here is why that matters:
Our legal team understands the full picture: business sponsorship obligations, nomination requirements and visa eligibility. Whether you are an HR manager, business owner, or skilled applicant, we will make sure your application is structured correctly and defensibly from day one.
Visa refusals, sponsorship withdrawals, changing employers, compliance audits — these situations require legal expertise, not just form-filling. As lawyers, we are equipped to manage disputes, appeals and even represent you in court if needed.
An employer sponsored visa is often just the beginning. We help workers map out their path to Australian Permanent Residency and we help businesses stay compliant while securing long-term talent — with no nasty surprises down the line.
When your business or career depends on getting the visa process right, you cannot afford mistakes.
Choose expert legal support from migration lawyers who know the law — and how to use it to your advantage.

Employer sponsored migration is one of the most powerful ways to live and work in Australia — but it is also one of the most technical and compliance-heavy parts of the system.
Whether you are an overseas professional with a job offer or an Australian business trying to sponsor talent, there is a lot to get right:
nominations, occupations lists, salary thresholds, labour market testing, visa conditions — and the pressure of knowing that a single error could derail the entire application.
That is where I come in.
As a qualified and experienced immigration lawyer, I work with both employers and skilled workers to structure legally sound, compliant and efficient sponsorship strategies which lead to Skills in Demand (subclass 482), Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186), or Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) (subclass 494) visa outcomes — followed by Australian Permanent Residency.
When you work with me, I will help you:
I also work closely with HR teams, accountants, and business owners to make the process simple and low-risk — without compromising on speed or outcome.
Whether you are a skilled worker or a growing business, you do not just need a migration agent. You need a legal expert who can protect your interests, avoid costly mistakes and give you a roadmap that actually works.
