Frequently asked questions
Which employers are best to refer?
Employers in healthcare, aged care, construction, hospitality, childcare, mining, and resources with hard-to-fill roles are the strongest fit.
Does the employer need to be DAMA or TSS 482 approved to be referred?
No. CrossNation works with employers at all stages — including those who have not yet obtained Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) approval. Visa pathway setup is coordinated with migration partners as part of the recruitment process.
What information should I include in an employer referral?
Include the employer name, location, sector, the roles they need to fill, and a contact name. CrossNation handles the qualification call and role assessment.
Can I refer multiple employers or employers across sectors?
Yes. Referral partners can refer employers across any shortage sector — healthcare, aged care, construction, hospitality, childcare, and mining — in any Australian state.
