On Hire Labour Agreement ( OHLA)

---

Hiring an overseas worker in Australia normally requires the employing organisation to hold a Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS). The On Hire Labour Agreement (OHLA) provides organisations with an alternative way to engage a visa holder. 

How we can help:

Only very few businesses in Australia have authority from the Australian government to offer an OHLA. It provides businesses an alternative way of engaging global talent.

How it works:

• Select talent from anywhere in the world to connect people to projects
• This option can facilitate any job title listed on the  Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO)
• Engage a worker without the need for your own Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)
• Outsource the engagement, financial and repatriation requirements for overseas workers.

What are the benefits:

• An alternative to an SBS if your business does not qualify for that pathway
• Mitigate any employment risk by outsourcing all the compliance obligations to the OHLA holder
• Utilise the OHLA as a obligation free probationary program.
