Training Visa Sponsorship Requirements Changed
New rules for training visa sponsorship came into effect in March 2026. This affects employers and individuals sponsoring or applying for training visas in Australia.
Official source ↗The Australian Government has amended the Migration Regulations 1994 to change how training visa sponsorship works. These changes came into effect on 10 March 2026 and remained in force until 29 June 2026. The amendments set out new sponsorship requirements that employers and visa applicants needed to follow during this period. According to the Department of Home Affairs, these changes were made under the Migration Act 1958. If you were applying for or sponsoring a training visa during this timeframe, the new requirements would have applied to your application. For current information about training visa sponsorship requirements, you should check the Home Affairs website or contact them directly, as regulations may have changed since June 2026.
