The Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) visa is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an approved Australian employer. This visa allows skilled professionals and their eligible family members to live, work, and settle in Australia permanently. It is designed to help Australian businesses fill long-term skill shortages by hiring qualified overseas workers. Once the visa is granted, applicants become Australian permanent residents and can access benefits such as Medicare, employment rights, and long-term settlement opportunities.
