Brisbane

The capital of Queensland and third most populous city in Australia, Brisbane has grown into an important centre for business and commerce. Foreign nationals are attracted to Brisbane’s vibrant and diverse cultural scene and high standard of living, while local employers have a continued need to fill gaps in specialist skills and in growth industries. Over the past few years, the immigration landscape in Australia has become increasingly regulated, which has led to a greater number of audits on companies relative to their workforce and sponsorship practices. All employers—regardless of whether they are sponsoring foreign assignees or not—have stringent obligations regarding their employees’ proper work rights. 

Our Brisbane-based Registered Migration Agents and Solicitors support clients of all sizes across a wide range of industries, helping them to effectively manage their immigration programs and address increasingly complex regulatory requirements. We work with many companies that employ foreign workers on a project basis, as well as companies looking to expand their workforce with foreign nationals. We have particular experience with complex workforce arrangements, such as contractor arrangements, joint ventures and other associations to ensure the delivery of skilled professionals to large-scale projects. We also offer support with litigation and review matters, advisory services, monitoring and compliance services, and government relations.
