12 Feb Training Visa (Subclass 407) Occupation List
You will be required to provide a letter from the regulatory body in Australia or in your home country stating that the training is necessary for you to obtain the mandatory registration to work in that occupation.
The sponsor must also meet certain requirements, including being a legitimate business or organisation and providing a training or professional development plan that is relevant to the individual’s occupation and approved by the relevant assessing authority.
The training plan must be relevant to the individual’s occupation and must be approved by the relevant assessing authority. The sponsor must also provide a statement confirming that the training or professional development is necessary for the individual’s occupation and that the individual will be able to complete the training or professional development within the period of the visa.
One of the main changes brought by Legislative Instrument 19/050 is that the training plan should now include a clear description of the training or professional development to be undertaken, the objectives of the training or professional development, the methods of delivery, and a statement confirming that the training or professional development is necessary for the individual’s occupation, and this can be articulated in a Training Plan. The sponsor is also required to explain how the training or professional development will benefit the individual and the sponsor’s business, organization, or government agency.
Additionally, Legislative Instrument 19/050 also clarified the requirement of the training or professional development plan to be approved by the relevant assessing authority. The sponsor is now required to provide a statement from the relevant assessing authority confirming that the training or professional development is relevant to the individual’s occupation and that the individual will be able to complete the training or professional development within the period of the visa.
Another important aspect highlighted by Legislative Instrument 19/050 is that the sponsor must be able to demonstrate that the training or professional development is not available in the individual’s home country and that it is not reasonably accessible to them. This is to ensure that the visa is not being used as a way for individuals to enter Australia to obtain training or professional development that is readily available in their home country.
The LIN 19/050 list includes a wide range of occupations in various fields such as:
- Agriculture and fishing
- Construction
- Commerce fields
- Health care
- Hospitality and tourism
- Information technology
- Manufacturing
The Training visa (subclass 407) is a temporary visa, and it is not a direct pathway to permanent residence in Australia. However, there are several options for individuals who hold a subclass 407 visa utilise the workplace-based aspects of the Training Visa (not the classroom based learning hours) as work experience hours towards the 482, 186, and 494 visas (pending the thoughts of the assessing body). Eligibility criteria and application process for each visa option are different and should be consulted with the Department of Home Affairs website for the most up-to-date information.
