At AHWC Immigration Law, our mission is to provide your business with the highest quality advice and assistance. We specialise in delivering Australian immigration solutions that are tailored to your company’s needs, allowing you to utilise skilled global talent to fill gaps in your local workforce.

 

Our Specialist Industries

Our team has experience with assisting a diverse portfolio of companies with their Australian visa requirements. This ranges from coordinating the immigration programs for large multi-national corporations to one-off work visa solutions for smaller companies who don’t usually utilise the Australian visa program.

We can provide bespoke visa solutions that take into account your industry and business.

Some of the industries we most commonly work with include:

  • Construction: We represent clients in civil, commercial and residential construction, assisting them with sourcing and retaining essential skilled staff for their business. We understand that companies in the construction industry often require staff at short notice to ensure that they can complete infrastructure and project projects in accordance with their contractual obligations. Construction companies often require staff whose skills are in shortage in demand in Australia and we provide advice and assistance on market trends and solutions, such as labour agreements.
  • Technology: We assist Information, Communication and Technology clients with their Australian immigration programs and obtain visas to allow companies to fill skill shortages in Cyber Security, Analyst Programming, ICT Business and System Analysts.

I used AHWC for my sponsorship visa, and most recently my permanent residency visa for myself and my partner. Alice in the Melbourne branch has been fantastic from start to finish, it is a very nerve wracking process given what is at stake and I couldn’t recommend them or Alice more. Alice was very transparent, professional and approachable from day1 and throughout the entire process. Our PR visa was granted really fast, which was amazing but before this we were at ease with the usual long haul processing time wait given our confidence in Alice’s capabilities. Alice was very responsive throughout the whole process, and explained things in layman’s terms. She was very thorough and I am someone who likes to ensure every detail is perfect, but when I missed something she was quick and clear to advise me on what else was needed for the application itself. All in all thank you to Alice and the AHWC team for the hard work and ensuring our time in Australia can now be indefinite!Rochelle Pickard
