Eligibility for permanent residency - information for supervisors
As a Supervisor, you may have staff members who are interested in obtaining permanent residency through the University. To be eligible, staff members must meet certain criteria and obtain approval from their direct Supervisor.
Although the staff member may meet the criteria, the University must endorse the application and can decline to sponsor at their discretion.
The Immigration and Relocation Team does not approve requests for permanent residence. The team’s role is to assess the University’s eligibility to nominate the staff member for a permanent residence visa and provide recommendation to the relevant area in accordance with the legislation and University Policy.
For further information, refer to the University's Visa and Work Rights Policy and information on work rights and visas.
