What is the Employer Sponsored Visa?
Employer sponsored visas allow skilled workers (with a job offer and nomination by an Australian employer) to live and work in Australia, and in many cases get permanent residency.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for these visas, there are 6 main requirements for the applicant (see here those for the Australian employer):

You need to nominate an eligible occupation from one of the relevant skilled occupation lists
-
You must have a suitable Australian employer that is willing to sponsor you

You will need at least 1 year of relevant study or work experience in the last 2 years, or at least 2 years of relevant work experience any time in your career
