Purpose of the 407 visa
The Training visa subclass 407 lets you take part in workplace based occupational training or professional development activities in Australia. It suits people needing training for registration, skill improvement in their current occupation, or structured professional development programs.
Sponsorship and training plans
Most applicants need an approved temporary activities sponsor, often an Australian business or organisation. The sponsor lodges a nomination with a detailed training plan explaining the activities, supervision, duration and how the training benefits the trainee.
Choosing the right location
Training is available with organisations across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and regional Australia. The training must be genuine and structured, and the visa is not designed for ordinary employment, so plans should clearly focus on skills development.
