Training Visas
Training visas are designed for individuals participating in structured workplace-based training, professional development, or occupational training programs in Australia. These visas allow trainees, interns, and overseas workers to gain specific skills, knowledge, or qualifications through a supervised program with an Australian host organisation. The primary objective is upskilling, not long-term employment, and applicants must usually meet training plan requirements and employer or sponsoring body arrangements. Training visas benefit employers, industry bodies, and participants by facilitating targeted capability-building, improving workforce standards, and fostering international cooperation in vocational and professional development.
Purpose: Structured workplace training or professional development
Visa subclass:
- Subclass 407 - Training visa
(Note: this is technically also a “student-related” or “work-based training” visa, but can be shown as its own category for clarity.)
