For many Nigerians and Africans aiming to work in Australia, employer sponsorship can be the key to securing a Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) or even a pathway to Permanent Residency (PR). The challenge? Not all employers are eligible or willing to sponsor.
We specialise in helping skilled professionals connect with sponsor-ready employers so they can fast-track their migration plans.
A sponsor-ready employer is:
Approved by the Australian government to sponsor foreign workers.
Willing to nominate you for a visa in your skill area.
Able to prove they can’t find an Australian for the role.
1. Check the Approved Sponsors List
The Australian Government maintains a Register of Approved Sponsors.
Afrovo helps you search for employers in your industry.
2. Target High-Demand Industries
Healthcare, construction, IT, and engineering often have more sponsorship opportunities.
3. Use Skilled Job Boards
Seek, Indeed, and LinkedIn often list “visa sponsorship available” roles.
4. Network in Australia
Attend industry events, join professional associations, and connect with recruiters.
5. Customise Your Resume
Tailor your CV to Australian standards and highlight PR eligibility.
Identifies sponsor-ready employers in your field.
Prepares a sponsorship-focused CV and cover letter.
Coaches you for Australian-style job interviews.
Guides you through the Subclass 482 visa application process.
“I was applying to random jobs with no results. Afrovo connected me to a sponsor-ready construction company, and I’m now working in Perth on a 482 visa.”
