407 Nomination
Nomination sets the training program details
The nomination outlines the structured workplace-based training (or professional development) you will deliver, including objectives, activities, and duration.
Role, supervision, and safeguards
It must confirm the nominee’s position during training, who will supervise them, and how progress will be monitored and reported.
Tied to an approved/eligible sponsor
The nominating organisation must be eligible and, where required, hold the correct sponsorship approval to nominate for this visa.
Time period drives the visa length
The nominated training period (up to 2 years, or a shorter period) generally determines the requested stay period linked to the application.
Genuine need for training
The nomination must demonstrate why the training is required, how it improves the nominee’s skills, and why it needs to occur in Australia.
407 Nomination
The organisation nominating must be an approved sponsor (Temporary Activities Sponsor for Subclass 407).
The sponsor must nominate the applicant’s workplace-based occupational training program (typically required unless the sponsor is an Australian Commonwealth Government agency).
The nomination must be approved under the relevant nomination approval requirements before a decision can be made on the visa application.
The nomination approval must still be in effect at the time the visa decision is made.
There must be no adverse information about the sponsor (or it must be reasonable for the Department to disregard it).
The sponsor must directly provide occupational training unless an exemption applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Build a program that clearly shows training first, productivity second. Include a baseline, a training needs analysis, and measurable learning outcomes. Break the plan into stages with increasing complexity, scheduled supervision, and documented assessments (e.g., weekly check-ins + monthly skills sign-offs). If the “training plan” reads like a position description with KPIs, it risks looking like an employment arrangement rather than occupational training.
Yes, but it needs careful positioning. If they’ve already been doing the same tasks, your training plan must show what will change and what new competencies they’ll gain. Employers get into trouble when the “training program” simply formalises an existing job. A strong nomination shows:
- a gap analysis of current capability,
- new supervised training components, and
- structured progression that wasn’t happening before.
The program must be structured and specifically tailored to the nominee. It is expected to include:
- Clearly defined training objectives and a needs analysis.
- An assessment of the nominee’s current skill level.
- A training pathway outlining tasks and timeframes for completion.
- Methods for monitoring and assessing progress.
The training program generally must:
- Comprise at least 30 hours per week of training.
- Ensure at least 70% of the training is workplace-based (i.e., not classroom-based) .
- Clearly differentiate between practical work experience and periods of instruction or observation.
The big ones are practical, not “visa basics”:
- Generic training plans that could be used for anyone. Fix: tailor tasks, milestones, and supervision to the nominee’s background and the workplace context.
- No proof of genuine training capacity (who trains them, when, and how). Fix: name supervisors, include their credentials, and show allocated time for training.
- Training looks like labour hire (high output, low learning). Fix: include assessment methods, observation periods, and staged complexity.
- Mismatch between training activities and the workplace reality. Fix: keep the plan consistent with your actual operations and resources.
Supervisors must be appropriately qualified and experienced in the relevant occupation.
For example, A supervisor may hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or possess significant specialized experience (e.g., an architect with 10 years of experience supervising a junior architect).
If the decision is about a visa applicant and you are not the visa applicant, you’ll need to include the visa applicant’s details (name, contact details, and identity details such as passport information) as part of the application.
