Develop Skills Through Structured Training in Australia

The Training Visa (Subclass 407) allows individuals to participate in structured workplace-based training in Australia to enhance their professional skills, improve occupational competence, or meet licensing and registration requirements. This visa is designed for skill development rather than standard employment.

Subclass 407 supports Australia’s workforce development by enabling overseas professionals and graduates to gain industry-aligned training under approved programs.

• Occupational training to improve skills in their current profession
• Workplace training as part of professional development
• Practical training to meet registration, licensing, or qualification requirements
• Capacity-building training supported by an approved Australian organisation

The visa focuses on learning and training outcomes, not long-term employment.
