Summary
Australia's Training visa (Subclass 407) is for workplace-based occupational training or professional development in Australia. Home Affairs describes it as a temporary visa for training that improves skills for a job, tertiary study, field of expertise, or professional development.
This is not a general work visa. It is for structured training with a sponsor and, in most cases, a nomination.
Eligibility
The main requirements usually include:
- An approved sponsor.
- An approved nomination, unless the sponsor is an Australian Commonwealth Government agency.
- A training purpose that fits one of the visa's training types.
- Sufficient financial support.
- Health, character, and visa-history requirements.
Home Affairs says the visa can be granted for up to 2 years.
What This Route Allows
The visa can let you complete workplace-based training in Australia, including training required for registration, training to improve skills in an occupation, or a professional development program.
What This Route Is Not
This is not a shortcut into ordinary employment. If the goal is a regular Australian job, look at employer-sponsored routes such as Skills in Demand (Subclass 482), Employer Nomination (Subclass 186), or regional employer-sponsored options.
Next Steps
- Confirm the training purpose.
- Identify the Australian sponsor.
- Confirm whether a nomination is required and approved.
- Gather the training plan, sponsor records, and support evidence.
