Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to register on SponsorTalent?

Registration is completely free for employers, candidates, and migration agents. SponsorTalent is funded by a $30 unlock fee that either side pays once when they want to contact a match.

Do I need a migration agent to sponsor a landscape gardener?

Yes. Visa sponsorship applications must be handled by a registered migration agent (MARN holder) or an Australian legal practitioner. SponsorTalent introduces you to qualified agents who can manage the lodgement end-to-end.

How long does the sponsorship process take for a landscape gardener?

From sponsorship application to visa grant, the typical timeline is 2 to 6 months — depending on the visa subclass, the employer's standard business sponsorship status, the candidate's skills assessment, and current Department of Home Affairs processing times. The 494 (Regional) and DAMA pathways may take longer due to additional regional certifying body requirements.

What skills assessment does a landscape gardener need?

For Landscape Gardener (ANZSCO 362711), the relevant assessing authority is Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). The skills assessment is a separate process from the visa application and should be initiated by the candidate as early as possible — assessments can take 6 to 16 weeks depending on the authority.

What English level does a sponsored landscape gardener need?

For Landscape Gardener on a 482 SID visa: IELTS 5.0 overall (Functional / Vocational) for 482 SID. Different visa subclasses (186 ENS, 494 Regional) and different occupations (especially regulated health professions) carry different English requirements — always confirm with a registered migration agent before booking tests.

Are there 494 visa or DAMA benefits for sponsoring in Darwin?

Darwin is classified as a regional area for migration purposes. This means employers sponsoring landscape gardeners there may be eligible for the 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa, with a pathway to permanent residency through the 191 visa after 3 years of regional work. Regional agreements such as DAMA may also provide concessions on salary and English language requirements compared to the standard 482 pathway. The specific benefits depend on the agreement in force at the time of nomination.
