Compliance Advice
Our team have assisted large and small companies, including major Australian franchisors to review their current immigration programs and identify gaps in their current process which expose them to compliance risks. We prepare reports which contain recommendations and provide documents that can be used by all relevant staff to ensure future compliance.
Audit of Immigration Program and Sponsored Workers
If you feel that your company may not be compliant with its sponsorship obligations or its employment of visa holders in general, our team can undertake a pro-active audit of your current systems to identify and address any potential breaches.
If the Department of Home Affairs has already approached your company to commence monitoring proceedings, we can assist you with collating the necessary documentation and drafting submission on your behalf to ensure you receive the best outcome possible.
Immigration Workshops
We provide our clients with bespoke immigration training workshops for all relevant staff members. These workshops, along with our documents and checklists, will ensure that all staff are fully aware of their responsibilities and how the sponsorship obligations relate to the life cycle of an expatriate workers employment.
