Training Visa 407

by Elaine Nunez-Caguioa

To all who are being recruited to work in Australia under Subclass 407 Training visa- Unpaid work placement.  

Please exercise caution with accepting such arrangements. Ask for legal advice before signing documents. Where possible, do not accept verbal assurances of salary/allowance payments.  This information is required to be clearly shown in your training contract signed by both parties.

Many Australian Businesses (Sponsors) who host trainees under the Training visa 407 still offer to pay a salary as per award wages under Fairwork Act Australia. Moreover, if you are already skilled and eligible, ask about the possibility of Sponsorship for Work visa Subclass 482 instead.
