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.

 

Which Industries Do We Serve?

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.

 

The industries we most commonly work with include:

CONSTRUCTIONTECHNOLOGYHEALTHMININGRETAILHOSPITALITYENGINEERINGENTERTAINMENT + SPORTFRANCHISES
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 projects in accordance with their contractual obligations. Construction companies often require expatriate staff with skills that are not available in the Australian labour market and we provide advice and assistance on market trends and solutions, such as labour agreements.
We assist Information, Communication and Technology clients with their Australian immigration programs and obtaining visas to allow these companies to fill skill shortages in Cyber Security, Analyst Programming, ICT Business and System Analysts. We provide advice and thought leadership relating to talent management for this sector, providing companies with a competitive advantage when attracting and retaining employees by utilising Global Talent schemes.
We have assisted private health services with Australian visa applications for medical staff, nurses, pharmacists and physiotherapy. We understand the complexities in sponsoring medical and health practitioners and can guide organisations through the application process and registration requirements for these occupations.
Our team has experience with supplying Australian immigration services to national and global mining operations, providing advice on suitable visa options for their expatriate employees and training workshops for HR staff and other key stakeholders. We have experience in utilising Designated Area Migration Agreements and regional visa options to the benefit of Mining companies.
Our team has significant expertise in partnering with some of Australia’s largest brands to oversee their visa programs and provide tailored visa solutions. This includes negotiating Global Talent Employer Sponsoring agreement with the Department of Home Affairs, to allow these companies to attract talent by guaranteeing a pathway to permanent residency for positions that would otherwise only be eligible for temporary visas, such as Fashion Designer and Sales and Marketing Managers.
We assist hotels, restaurants and fast food outlets with their Australian visa applications for Chefs, Cooks and Restaurant Managers. This includes assessing whether utilising the current restaurant industry labour agreement would be beneficial to their business.
We have clients across all areas of engineering including civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical. We provide assistance in obtaining employer sponsored temporary and permanent visas when suitable labour options are not available locally.
We assist sport players, coaches, performers and production staff with Temporary Activity Subclass 408 visa applications through the Sporting and Entertainment streams. This is a cost effective visa option for expatriate individuals who wish to work in these industries.
We provide visa advice to franchisor and franchisee’s in relation to ensuring their compliance with migration legislation and sponsorship obligations, the appropriate entity to sponsor expatriate employees as well as assisting with employer sponsored visa applications.

AHWC was so helpful in arranging my 820 and 801 Partner Visas, their professionalism in the process was exceptional taking all the pressure off what was a very involved process. I thoroughly recommend AHWC to anyone wanting visas and especially Amy and Clarisa for all the preparation involved in obtaining and processing for Home Affairs.

Kiri was absolutely amazing! I honestly can’t recommend her enough!! We processed my papers in June 2023 and my subclass 820 visa was granted today! It only took 2months! How incredible. Kiri made sure everything was in order throughout the whole process. She was so positive and reassuring. This girl knows what she’s doing!!

This review is LONG overdue, but our immi agent Su Jiang is the best. We had submitted all papers for 820 partner visa in November 2022 and were expecting an approval of a temporary visa. But we ended up with an approved PR within three months of document submission. We could hardly believe our eyes when we received the good news via email from her. Su Jiang, is always very prompt with her email responses, gives detailed guidance and was very very thorough in ensuring the documents were all good before submission. Most importantly she is very patient and was there at every step of the process. Thank you so much Si Jiang, we cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was on a very close deadline with my visa submission and the team at AHWC, particularly Amy and Mancy, couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. Would recommend for anyone needing visa application assistance.

I applied for the 820-partner visa with AHWC and I must say it was an excellent experience. Charisse, who assisted me with my application, was professional and patient throughout the process. I am very grateful for all the support she provided me.
