Finding skilled workers in Australia is becoming increasingly difficult, especially in industries such as construction, mining, engineering, healthcare, logistics and technical industries.
But sponsoring overseas workers directly through the SID 482 Visa program can be complex, time-consuming and risky — especially for businesses without a Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) or an Australian entity.
Accelerate simplifies the process through our On-Hire Labour Agreement (OHLA), allowing businesses to legally access overseas talent without managing sponsorship obligations internally.
An On-Hire Labour Agreement (OHLA) is a formal agreement with the Department of Home Affairs that allows approved organisations to sponsor skilled overseas workers and on-hire them to other businesses in Australia.
Unlike a traditional Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS), an OHLA allows businesses to access international workers without directly sponsoring them themselves.
This model is commonly used by:
Accelerate’s OHLA allows us to sponsor eligible workers under the SID 482 Visa program and legally place them into Australian businesses while managing compliance and employment obligations.
