Equivalent Terms

Sponsors for 457 visas have an obligation to employ visa holders on "equivalent terms and conditions" to what an Australian doing the same job would receive.

If this condition is not met, apart from sanctions that can be applied by DIBC for non-compliance, the sponsor might end up with an industrial law action on their hands. This is precisely what happened to the franchisors in the following case that was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Details of the sponsors obligations and sanctions can be found on DIBC website.
