Subclass 407

The Training Visa (Subclass 407) is designed to help you gain valuable hands-on experience and professional development by working in Australia as part of a structured training program with your sponsoring organisation. It’s ideal for building practical skills to meet registration requirements and boost your career opportunities.

What Is Subclass 407?

The Subclass 407 visa functions as a short-term visa which allows Australian businesses together with government agencies to bring in qualified trainees for specific occupational learning experiences. This visa promotes skill advancement but should not serve to meet ongoing employment requirements.

It enables training through three different categories:

1. Workplace-based training required for registration

The visa enables applicants who need workplace-based training to get professional registration, membership or licensing needed to work in their occupation in Australia or their home country.

The training program targets individuals who have recent and relevant experience in an eligible occupation and need structured workplace-based training to improve their skills for that occupation.

The training program must be designed to address the individual requirements of the applicant.

2. Occupational training for capacity building overseas

Overseas qualification: For students studying at foreign institutions who need to complete practical training, research or observation to earn their qualification (up to 6 months).
Government support: For structured workplace-based occupational training supported by an Australian government agency or the government of the applicant’s home country.
Professional development: Professional or management-level staff from overseas organisations can participate in Australia-based professional development programs that are custom-designed.

The Application Process

Most applications for the Training Visa require three separate steps to complete the process. Applications from Commonwealth Government agencies typically need only the visa application stage.

The Application Process: Step-by-Step

The Australian organisation must get approved as a Temporary Activities Sponsor before they can provide training to candidates.
The organisation receives a 5-year valid approval which confirms their ability to meet their sponsorship obligations.

The Application Process: Step-by-Step

After sponsorship approval the employer needs to nominate the position and the applicant.
The sponsor needs to create an extensive Training Plan which includes:

The training objectives together with its duration
An evaluation of the trainee’s current skill level
A needs assessment of the training along with a systematic training schedule that includes work assignments and time allocations
Details about supervisors and trainers as well as monitoring procedures

The training duration needs to be at least 30 hours per week while classroom sessions cannot exceed 30% of total time.
The training needs to show distinct differences between hands-on work experience and observation and instruction periods.

The Application Process: Step-by-Step

After receiving approval of the nomination you can apply for your visa as the trainee.. All individual eligibility criteria need to be met through documentation showing your skills and English language abilities as well as financial status and health and character requirements.

If you’re looking for a sign that you’ve chosen the right migration agent — this is it. Many can become migration agents, but not everyone does their work with genuine care and heart. That’s why choosing a migration agent with genuine care and compassion for their clients is so important. And Bill Mitroulas of Questra Immigration is definitely one of them. Our gratitude to Bill and the Questra Team is beyond words — they were the ones who made it possible for us to achieve the future we’ve been dreaming of here in Australia. Even though the process wasn’t easy and at times felt almost impossible, Bill and the Questra Team stood by us and helped us successfully complete our PR application. And because of the positive outcome of our PR application, we were able to get the house we’ve always dreamed of. In behalf of my partner, Jhoseph Paxton, we want to thank you, Bill and the Questra Team, for changing our lives — giving my children a future filled with hope and opportunity. I pray for Questra's continued success.✨
