Sponsor obligations and compliance advice.

A sponsorship approval creates an ongoing relationship with the immigration framework. Changes in a business or employment arrangement can raise questions that need attention well before a renewal or audit.

Changes to employment and the business

Sponsor obligations can concern employment conditions, records, notifications and cooperation with the Department. The applicable duties depend on the sponsor and circumstances; the official guidance sets out the detail.

We help employers identify the questions raised by changes to roles, work locations, business structures or employment arrangements, and consider what should happen next.

Sponsorship records

Employment records, contracts and the role described in a nomination should not drift into separate accounts of the position. A review can identify gaps while there is still time to investigate them.

If a request for information or compliance correspondence arrives, preserve the records and seek advice on the particular request. Do not assume a generic checklist addresses what the Department is asking.

Ongoing sponsorship advice

For employers sponsoring repeatedly, ongoing advice can connect new nominations with the existing history. We can discuss annual arrangements and the scope of support appropriate to the organisation.
