Frequently asked questions

What are our sponsor obligations?

Approved sponsors must meet obligations including paying market rates, keeping records, notifying changes and cooperating with monitoring. We review and maintain your compliance.

Home Affairs has requested information or a site visit — what do we do?

Respond carefully and on time. We prepare your response and represent you, because monitoring outcomes can lead to bars or cancellation. Contact us as soon as you receive a notice.

We have a SAF levy issue — can you help?

Yes. We resolve Skilling Australians Fund levy calculation, payment and refund issues as part of keeping your sponsorship in good standing.

Can sponsor sanctions be challenged?

Often yes — decisions to bar, cancel or infringe can be responded to and, in some cases, reviewed. Time limits apply, so act quickly.
