Information relevant to a nominator<br />
Employer<br />
The employer is a person who seeks to nominate a skilled worker who is either overseas or in Australia<br />
on a temporary visa, for a skilled position within their business. Whether or not a skilled position is eligible<br />
under the Direct Entry stream will depend on the scheme used:<br />
Nomination<br />
6 Employer Sponsored Migration<br />
• for the ENS, the nominated position must correspond to an occupation in the Consolidated<br />
Sponsored Occupation List<br />
• for the RSMS, the nominated position must correspond to an occupation at skill level 1 to 3 within<br />
the ANZSCO framework.<br />
Employers who are considering nominating a person under the ENS or RSMS may locate suitable people<br />
in various ways, including:<br />
• through their efforts <strong>of</strong> testing the Australian labour market<br />
• personal contact and/or experience with the nominee<br />
• recommendation from third parties<br />
• through the SkillSelect database.<br />
All prospective applicants must fi rst be nominated by their direct employer in Australia. The nomination<br />
must be received through the department’s website using e-lodgement.<br />
Information relevant to a nominee<br />
Employee<br />
An employee is a person nominated by an employer in Australia for a skilled position within the employer’s<br />
business. This person may lodge a visa application under the appropriate stream <strong>of</strong> the ENS or RSMS.<br />
SkillSelect<br />
SkillSelect is a web-based interface that enables skilled workers interested in migrating to Australia to<br />
record their details to be considered for a skilled visa through an Expression <strong>of</strong> Interest (EOI). Australian<br />
employers or state and territory governments can fi nd intending migrants through SkillSelect and<br />
nominate workers to apply for skilled visas.<br />
An EOI may increase the chances <strong>of</strong> a skilled worker fi nding an employer who is willing to nominate them<br />
for migration for a skilled visa. SkillSelect is available from the department’s website<br />
www.skillselect.gov.au You may remain on the database for up to 24 months, or until your migration to<br />
Australia.
