This list has information about approved Work and Development Permit (WDP) sponsors.

Before you contact a sponsor

Visit Work and Development Permit to learn more about the scheme or to check if you are eligible for a WDP.

You should make sure you meet a sponsor’s conditions before you contact them. If you don’t, they can decide not to sponsor you for a WDP.

What happens after I contact a sponsor?

After you contact a sponsor, they might ask about your situation, and you may need to show proof of this to them. If they decide to sponsor you, they will then apply for a WDP for you.

A sponsor can decide not to support your WDP for different reasons. If this happens, you can contact another sponsor.

How to search the sponsor list

You can search for a sponsor by entering the suburb or postcode of the area you are looking for. To see sponsors in nearby suburbs tick ‘Show surrounding suburbs’.

You can filter the search results using the activities or services filters. This will help you find sponsors that provide the types of activities or services you are looking for.

If you know the name of the sponsor you are looking for, click the ‘Search by sponsor’ tab and put their name in.

Some sponsors offer telehealth services, and they come up when you do a search. If you tick ‘Show only Telehealth sponsors’, the search results will only show sponsors that offer Telehealth services.

If your search doesn’t show any results, try searching a different area, or tick the ‘Show surrounding suburbs’. You can also leave the suburb blank, so your search shows all the WDP sponsors.
