Unlike a ‘Standard Business Sponsorship’, Overseas Business Sponsorship (OBS) allows businesses operating outside of Australia to sponsor employees to work in Australia under the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) program.

​

In most cases, an Overseas Business Sponsorship (OBS) is used when an overseas business intends to:

​

• Establish, or help establish, a business operation in association with a business located outside of Australia.

• Fulfil, or help fulfil, a contractual obligation in Australia.
