The Training Visa (Subclass 407) is meant for people who need to do structured occupational training in Australia. It can matter for professionals building workplace skills, individuals undertaking training that is actually required for registration or licensing, and overseas employees taking part in structured capacity building programs. The visa is not simply a general work visa; the proposed training must fit an eligible occupational training purpose. The Department of Home Affairs recognises three broad types of occupational training under Subclass 407.
Trusted Immigration Services, formerly known as RS Global Immigration, has been helping clients with Australian migration matters since 2018. With a real office based in Lalor, Victoria, our team sort of supports applicants and businesses across Melbourne, and yep also places like Epping, Thomastown, Reservoir, Bundoora, Mill Park, South Morang, Craigieburn, plus nearby suburbs too.
Since 2018, Trusted Immigration Services has handled plenty of Australian visa categories too, including employer sponsored, skilled, student, partner, visitor, and training related matters. That wider exposure, yes it does help us review whether a planned training arrangement really matches the applicant’s situation, before we tell you to go ahead.
Migration advice is provided by Director Ginni Kocher (MARN: 1803892), a registered migration agent. She’s also a member of the Migration Institute of Australia. Our style is centered on correct paperwork, up to date migration requirements, professional conduct, and straight forward communication that doesn’t leave you guessing.
Our Lalor office makes it easy for applicants and sponsoring organisations across Melbourne’s northern suburbs. Clients can talk through their circumstances via face-to-face consults, or remote consultations, depending on what suits the training and migration setup best.
A Subclass 407 application involves more than the applicant’s documents. Sponsorship and nomination requirements are not just a detail though. We help clients connect the different pieces of the process in a sensible way so that key obligations aren’t missed, or slip by.
Subclass 407 visa basically lets eligible applicants do occupational training in Australia, sort of a structured pathway and not just casual study. The proposed program needs to genuinely be training and it should sit inside an allowed occupational training category, rather than being treated like a simple stand-in for regular employment.
It can be useful for professionals who need training that is well organized, to level up their job capabilities, or finish training tied with registration or licensing requirements. Also relevant if you’re joining eligible capacity-building programs connected to overseas development.
Some applicants need supervised occupational training to obtain or meet requirements associated with professional registration, membership, licensing or accreditation. The proposed program should clearly explain what training is required and how the applicant will achieve the relevant professional outcome.
The 407 pathway may also apply where an overseas professional requires structured workplace training to improve existing occupational skills. A credible training program should have defined objectives, supervision, activities and measurable outcomes rather than simply describing a normal job.
Certain programs can involve overseas employees undertaking structured occupational training that contributes to capacity building outside Australia. The exact requirements depend on the training category and circumstances, so professional assessment is important before preparing the nomination.
For applications under the current process, the sponsoring organisation generally needs to be an approved Temporary Activities Sponsor. The sponsor’s role is important because the 407 pathway is built around an organisation providing a genuine occupational training program.
Since 11 March 2026, the process has changed for Subclass 407 applications. Where required, the sponsor and nomination must be approved before the visa application can be lodged. This makes early planning particularly important for both applicants and businesses.
We first review the applicant’s occupation, qualifications, relevant experience, proposed training and current visa circumstances. For businesses, we also consider sponsorship requirements and whether the proposed program appears appropriate for the intended training purpose.
Where required, we assist with the sponsorship and nomination stages and review the proposed training arrangements. A properly structured plan should explain what the trainee will learn, how training will occur and how progress will be assessed.
After the relevant sponsorship and nomination requirements are addressed, we help prepare the visa application and supporting evidence. This may include identity documents, qualifications, employment history, English evidence, health and character documents, and training-related material.
Our involvement can continue after submission by helping respond to requests for additional information and keeping clients informed about important developments. This gives applicants and sponsors a clear point of contact throughout the process.
The proposed arrangement needs to demonstrate genuine occupational training rather than ordinary employment disguised as training. This distinction is important because the 407 visa has specific occupational training purposes and conditions.
Depending on the category, applicants might have to show relevant qualifications, plus work or study history, and also occupational experience. We review these details before recommending whether the proposed training arrangement is worth pursuing.
And of course applicants may need to meet English, health, and character requirements depending on their situation. We help identify which evidence is required and whether additional checks may affect the overall preparation timeline.
A weak training plan may fail to explain what the applicant will actually learn or how the program differs from ordinary work. We help clients make the proposed objectives, activities, supervision and outcomes clearer.
For businesses that are not used to temporary activity sponsorship, they may unintentionally miss key conditions. Getting professional guidance can help spot missing documents and make responsibilities less confusing before the application really moves ahead.
Applicants with previous refusals, changing visa circumstances or complicated immigration histories may require additional assessment. Trusted Immigration Services also handles appeals and review-related matters where appropriate.
Visa charges from the Government can shift, so you should check the latest fee right before lodgement. Other costs can involve health examinations, police certificates, English testing, translations, and yes sometimes professional service fees as well.
Professional fees in Melbourne vary according to whether assistance is required only for the applicant or also for sponsorship and nomination matters. A straightforward application may cost less than a case involving a complex training structure or previous immigration issues.
