Training Visa (Subclass 407) – Gain Professional Experience in Australia

Stay in Australia for up to two years with sponsorship.
Improve your career prospects with hands-on training in your field.

What is the Training Visa 407?

The Training Visa 407 is a temporary visa that allows individuals to undertake workplace-based training or professional development in Australia. This visa is designed for people who need on-the-job experience to enhance their skills in their current occupation, tertiary studies, or professional field.

This visa has three main streams:

Occupational Training for Registration – For individuals needing workplace training to obtain licensing or registration in their occupation.
Occupational Training to Improve Skills – For applicants who require structured training in their current occupation or field of study.
Occupational Training for Capacity Building – For professionals supported by a government agency or employer-sponsored exchange program.

Unlike employer-sponsored visas such as the SID 482 visa, the 407 visa focuses on training rather than full-time employment.

Key Features & Benefits of the Training Visa 407

Holders of the Training Visa 407 can:

Stay in Australia for up to 2 years for training purposes.
Gain valuable workplace experience and improve skills in an Australian environment.
Receive sponsorship from an Australian organisation for structured training.
Travel freely to and from Australia while holding the visa.
Include family members (such as a spouse or dependent children) in the application.
