Navigating employer-sponsored visa applications in Australia requires comprehensive documentation to demonstrate that your business needs a specific skilled role. A critical component of a successful nomination application for subclasses such as 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage / Skills in Demand) and 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) is meeting the genuine position requirement in Australia.
At ImmiDocs, our experienced immigration documentation specialists prepare detailed report samples to help businesses, migration agents, and applicants structure reports that satisfy the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) criteria.
A genuine position statement is a detailed submission explaining why a nominated role exists within a business, how it aligns with the company’s core operations, and why it must be filled by a foreign worker.
To satisfy Department criteria, the nominating organization must prove that the proposed position is:
Genuine: Real, necessary, and not created solely to secure a migration outcome.
Relevant: Direct alignment with the nature, standard, and scale of current business activities.
Essential: Critical to maintaining or expanding ongoing business operations.
Our professionally crafted sample provides a structured framework detailing the exact evidence and statements required by case officers.
It indicates how the position fits within the business.
Contains the outline of goods and services provided by the business and how the position contributes to business outputs.
