In this visa, the employer is allowed to employ a foreign worker, i.e., worker who is not an Australian citizen, but only under two conditions, and they are:

The worker’s occupation is presently not on the list of approved occupations.

Secondly, there must be a genuine need for the skill for which the employer is hiring the worker from outside.

The government agencies directly negotiate Employer-sponsored labor agreements that mean that they are strongly involved in the process.
