Labour Market Testing (LMT)

Labour Market Testing (LMT)

Labour Market Testing (LMT) is an important requirement for certain employer-sponsored visa nominations, where an Australian employer may need to demonstrate that genuine efforts have been made to recruit suitably qualified Australian workers before sponsoring an overseas worker. LMT requirements can vary depending on the visa and circumstances.

How GO Migration Can Help

We assist employers and sponsored workers with understanding the applicable LMT requirements, advertising obligations, and supporting evidence. Our team can guide you through the required advertising process, review whether the recruitment evidence meets the relevant requirements, and help prepare the documentation needed for the nomination application.

We provide support with advertisement requirements, recruitment evidence, application documentation, and compliance considerations, helping ensure the LMT process is properly documented before the nomination is submitted. We also assist with responding to further requests from the Department of Home Affairs where required.

Our goal is to make the LMT process clear, organised, and straightforward, while helping employers maintain appropriate records and supporting evidence throughout the sponsorship process.
