I want to have a working holiday

Employer sponsored work

Skilled foreign workers are sought after in many Australian industries, and there are plenty of occupations suitable for sponsored work. Employer-sponsored visas can be temporary or permanent, depending upon your occupation and location. Working in regional Australia can offer exciting pathways to permanent residency for successful candidates.
Turnstone also works closely with employers to ensure that being a sponsor is a secure and rewarding experience. If you are thinking about sponsorship as a business or a worker, contact us to discuss the process and opportunities.

Skilled migration
.
Skilled independent and nominated migration is open to migrants that have existing qualifications, skills and experience in areas that are in high demand. These visa types do not require you to have a sponsoring employer and can lead to permanent residency. You will need to meet a points requirement in addition to having a suitable skills assessment and English proficiency.

We love our clients
““Amazing lawyers who are professional, experienced and also very human. They made me and my partner feel extremely supported after we had the shock of visa refusal. As soon as that happened we contacted them through a friend who recommended us to see Io’s team to deal with the appeal process. They were everything you expect in a lawyer, they took care of everything always giving us detailed and clear information as well as a lot of support. We highly recommend Turnstone Migration Services. At the moment we are doing our skilled visa process with them, we know we are in the best hands. ”

““Turnstone has been a great support in our migration journey. We literally had no idea on how to go about applying for family migration, but Turnstone stepped in and made everything easier, finding the best solutions for our circumstances and guiding us until our migration journey was complete.”
Mason & Alice
““My staff and I have been dealing with Turnstone Migration for the past two years. From the commencement of our professional dealing it’s been a real pleasure to work, deal and communicate with their office. They’ve always been extremely responsive to any requests or questions, very helpful with their professional knowledge and suggestions and very generous with their time both on the phone and in person. Io always makes time to meet when necessary, ensures that all our concerns, questions and doubts are thoroughly explained and clearly understood. Turnstone provides honest, informative and professional advice, which leaves my staff and I feeling reassured and confident with whatever concern we might have. Overall it’s been a real pleasure dealing with Turnstone Migration and I would warmly recommend them to anyone.”
Asaf Leibovize, Kinoko Sushi Bar & Restaurant
““As a business owner, securing the right staff is a constant challenge but Turnstone has been a huge part of the solution for us. Our iconic Byron Bay venue depends upon migrant labour and Turnstone provides excellent professional support to our business.”
Adam Coates, The Roadhouse
““The best decision I’ve made is to let Turnstone handle my immigration issue. They walked with me through everything, even when I thought it was impossible. Having them by my side is a total rest of mind. Their experience and service on migration issues is one of the best. For peace of mind it’s better to let them handle your immigration issues because with them you are in safe hands.”

““Turnstone assisted me with both my enrolment and student visa, which I couldn't have done on my own. They were always very supportive!”
Joey Chan
““Having read the guidance, requirements, and evidence needed to submit an application for the Prospective Marriage visa I thought it would be a real challenge, possibly one I couldn't meet. However, after a consultation with Turnstone about the way forward and the service they could offer on our behalf we both felt much more confident. The whole process was very well structured and timetabled with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get support, from us filling in the first questionnaire, through gathering evidence and submitting documents to writing our personal statements. Turnstone lodged the application in less than two months, and a few months later we have a successful outcome!”
Amanda Mayo
“I have been impressed about how easy everything seemed to be if you give the immigration work to someone who knows what they do! Thanks Turnstone, for your smooth, friendly and easy going support. Thanks for planting the seed and getting me on an employer sponsored visa in Byron Bay! You guys made my life so easy!!! Cheers and thanks TURNSONE LEGENDS ”

Io and Stuart have done a great job in advising and helping us with all the stages of our application. We are very grateful for their help, making it easy for us to live together in Australia.”
Anila LLeshaj
““I approached Turnstone Migration Services to assist with my RSMS visa which is a very complex and bureaucratic process to go through and with them everything is going really smoothly. I have lots of friends who have used Turnstone services to assist them with their student visas, sponsorships, permanent residency and they are also very satisfied with the service provided. I would strongly recommend Turnstone to everyone who needs migration assistance.”
