The training (Subclass 407) visa program is designed for non-Australian citizens or non-Australian permanent residents seeking to enhance their skills or education by undertaking structured workplace-based training activities including classroom-based professional development activities in Australia.

The Subclass 407 training visa may also be used by overseas students, who are required to complete workplace-based training to satisfy their course requirements.

For the training visa, individuals will need to be nominated by an Australian business or a government organization.

There are three different occupational training streams: registration, skills enhancement and capacity building overseas.

The training provided by an Australian organization must be a clearly structured workplace-based program and must clearly demonstrate how foreign nationals undergoing training would be benefited without adversely affecting the occupational training opportunities of Australian workers.
