What is SC407 Training Visa?

The Training Visa (Subclass 407) is a temporary visa that allows skilled workers, graduates, and students to undertake workplace-based occupational training in Australia. It is designed for individuals who want to improve their skills in their current occupation, area of tertiary study, or professional field through structured training programs with an approved Australian organisation. The visa allows holders to live, work, and participate in training activities in Australia for up to 2 years.

The Subclass 407 visa also allows eligible family members to be included in the application or join later as subsequent entrants. While the visa is not a direct pathway to permanent residency and cannot be extended, it can help applicants gain valuable Australian workplace exposure and professional experience that may support future visa opportunities in Australia.
