FAQs

An On-Hire Labour Agreement allows an approved sponsor (like SDP Solutions) to sponsor skilled overseas workers and place them with host organisations, while remaining the legal employer and managing all sponsorship compliance obligations.

With SDP Solutions, you do not need to become an approved sponsor, manage compliance obligations, or carry sponsorship risk. We remain the legal employer and handle all visa requirements.

SDP Solutions is the legal employer. The worker is contracted to your organisation, but all employment, payroll, and sponsorship compliance responsibilities sit with us.

We manage labour market testing, nomination and visa applications, sponsorship monitoring, reporting obligations, salary compliance, and any required changes under Department of Home Affairs regulations.

No. As the approved on-hire labour sponsor, SDP Solutions carries the sponsorship compliance obligations and associated risks.

Timeframes depend on the candidate’s location and documentation readiness. This typically includes a 4-week mandatory Labour Market Testing period plus visa processing times set by Home Affairs.

Yes. We can manage 482 visa transfers for onshore candidates, including Labour Market Testing requirements.

This depends on the commercial arrangement and visa eligibility. Pathways can be discussed during the consultation process.

SDP Solutions pays the employee directly and invoices the host organisation at the agreed contract rate.

As the host organisation, you manage day-to-day supervision, performance management, and work allocation, while SDP Solutions manages employment and migration compliance.
