Employer Nominated Scheme Visa to Australia

This is an employer-sponsored visa, also referred to as the Employer Nominated Scheme. People arriving in Australia as Permanent Residents under the Employer Nomination Scheme must have a job waiting for them. Their Australian employers must be their sponsor. If the employer is in regional Australia, you can apply for the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme.
