SECURE YOUR FUTURE IN AUSTRALIA WITH THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS VISA PATHWAY

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO WORKING AND LIVING IN AUSTRALIA

The Essential Skills Visa Pathway, or the Labour Agreement Stream, is an excellent option for skilled workers looking to live and work in Australia. This visa is designed for individuals nominated by employers who have a Labour Agreement with the Australian Government. Labour Agreements, a part of the Skills in Demand Visa, are special arrangements that help employers fill critical skill gaps in industries where there are no local workers available.

At Knowbal, we understand the complexities of applying for visas. Our experienced team of migration experts is here to guide you every step of the way, from understanding the visa process to submitting a strong application.
