Training Visa (Subclass 407)

Temporary Visa for Workplace-Based Training & Skill Development

The Training Visa (Subclass 407) allows individuals to participate in structured workplace-based training or professional development programs in Australia to improve skills in an eligible occupation, area of tertiary study, or professional field.
